The Commerce and Industry Ministry has asked all the ministries and departments to constantly update their 'Make in India' action plans with a view to promote ease of doing business.
Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Secretary Ramesh Abhishek said that action plans are in place for 22 sectors and there has been good progress on those.
"...but we are requesting the ministries and departments to also revise their plans because many of those things may have been done but there are new ideas which have come in the meantime.
"So we are requesting them that whatever policies and action points are required for 'Make in India' campaign, they should constantly revise and relook their plans," Abhishek told reporters here.
He was speaking after the inauguration of the 'Make in India Action Plan' and 'State level Business Reform Action Plan' dashboards developed by DIPP to monitor progress made on the two action plans.
The Make in India dashboard will allow ministries covered under the action plan to update progress made by them on short-term and medium-term targets, facilitate timely delivery of identified action points, and facilitate monitoring and identification of delays in implementation, if any.
It will also allow the Prime Minister's Office, Cabinet Secretariat and the DIPP to monitor progress and suggest corrective course on the progress indicated.
Talking about the states ranking on ease of doing business, he said states have time till June 30 to update the progress on all the 340 parameters.
"Most of the states are working hard to ensure that they do as much as possible on these 340 points. We are also encouraging states to share their good practices with others," he said, adding that the DIPP is advising them to interact with users on a continuous basis.
He said that the ease of doing business dashboard will facilitate states to report progress made by them on state level business reforms action plan and validation of responses received from the states by the DIPP.
It also has a feature to identify and disseminate information about the good practices followed by the states/UTs.
The dashboard will provide real-time ranking of states/UTs once a response is validated by the DIPP.
The response posted by the states, their progress and inter-state ranking will be visible to public too.
The dashboards were inaugurated by Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
