SIDCO initiative to put e-governance in place
In a significant move that could augur well for industrial development, the state-owned SIDCO has initiated measures to computerise its activities.
It has also undertaken steps to ensure entrepreneurs filed their applications for allotment of plots online.
The Tamil Nadu Small Industries Development Corporation Limited familiarly known as SIDCO was established on March 16, 1970 to promote Small Scale Industries in the state.
Presently, it has made available on its website the downloading of application forms for allotting lands.
“We are in the process of evolving a software with the assistance of the National Informatics Centre
to enable the entrepreneurs to submit their applications seeking allotment of plots online,” an official said.
Meanwhile, as per an instruction from the chief minister J. Jayalalithaa, it has been proposed to revamp the district industries centres in all the 32 districts by taking up appropriate civil works in various district headquarters.
Further, the DIC would be provided with modern IT enabled communication facilities and those centres functioning from rental buildings would have their buildings.
Realising the importance of DIC, the chief minister had during a recent review meeting told the officials that these centres formed the bedrock of MSME promotion, and directed the officials to immediately strengthen, revitalise and transform the DICs to play a pro-active role for the benefit of the entrepreneurs. She had also ordered a sum of `50 crores to revamp the centres
