Amid a function in capital on Thursday, the bodies announced that they had started allowing people and companies to provide only one set of documentation to both offices. This would help lesson the hassle faced by people when they had to provide separate copies of the same documents to different government offices. [break]
In a bid to encourage a paperless documentation system among different government offices, the two bodies have started the process of developing an information-exchange technology among various government arms.
Inaugurating the function, Finance Minister Shankar Prasad Koirala praised the progress adopted by government offices and said “It´s a campaign to discourage paper documentation among government offices and will have a positive response.”
Koirala further said that the Tripureswar area is the ‘Singh Durbar of bodies under the Ministry of Industry’ and assured of assistance in developing them technologically. Meanwhile, Koirala also urged for training skilled manpower along with technological enhancement of government bodies.
Speaking on the occasion, Krishna Gyawali, secretary at Ministry of Industry (MoI), highlighted the need to take such services to the lowest levels of the government as well.
Similarly, Tanka Mani Sharma, the director general of IRD, also discouraged the haphazard paper documentation system at government offices and said the adoption of new technology among government offices would successfully help to make the documentation process easier.
Meanwhile, OCR and the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly enhance the online service of OCR through which business firms now can be facilitated with the service provided by OCR from the district level chambers of commerce and industries themselves and other associations of FNCCI. According to the memorandum, customer felicitating centers will be established in five district chambers in the first phase and will be expanded to others later.
