Govt launches portal for ‘Udyami Mitras'

Time of India4 days ago
Lucknow: UP govt launched the Human Resource Management System (HRMS) portal for 'Udyami Mitras' on Monday. It will enhance investor facilitation and internal efficiency.
The cloud-based HRMS portal has been integrated with the state's Nivesh Sarathi platform and designed to digitise and streamline key administrative functions for Udyami Mitras including attendance, leave, payroll, Form-16 generation, and other HR operations.
It provides real-time access to employee records, promotes transparency, and reinforces administrative oversight across district and state levels. By transitioning from manual to system-based workflows, the portal enables end-to-end automation of HR processes.
UP industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi', who launched the portal, said it will strengthen the institutional framework for investor support in UP.
"Udyami Mitras play a critical role in translating UP's investor-friendly policies into on-ground impact. With the launch of this system, we are further empowering them with digital tools to function more effectively," he said.
Under the Mukhyamantri Udyami Mitra Yojana launched in 2023, over 110 trained Udyami Mitras have been deployed across districts and industrial authorities. They act as facilitators between investors and govt, supporting tasks such as land identification, MoU tracking, investment proposal verification, industrial interactions, and resolution of bottlenecks through platforms like Nivesh Mitra, Nivesh Sarathi, and OIMS.

Four IIT-Kanpur profs to impart AI training to Uttar Pradesh MLAs, schedule worked out

Professors from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K) will conduct classes over two days for members of the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly in order to introduce them to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential use in governance. The workshop will feature hands-on demonstrations, as well as examples of software solutions developed at IIT-Kanpur, to showcase indigenous efforts in AI. (PICTURE FOR REPRESENTATION) In its July 17 edition, HT was the first to report ('AI to help UP MLAs with digitisation of files, reports') that the upcoming monsoon session of the UP assembly will see a special IIT-Kanpur designed class on artificial intelligence for legislators, aimed at motivating them to use technology for various legislative works. Now, the details of the training schedule have emerged. The sessions will be held on the assembly premises and they will involve four faculty members from IIT-K's department of computer science and engineering. The programme aims to familiarise legislators with AI tools, their practical applications, and the ethical and technical nuances involved in their use. Prof Nitin Saxena, who is leading the initiative, said the workshop will cover a range of tools, including ChatGPT, and show how public representatives can deploy them in their day-to-day responsibilities such as drafting official notes, organising surveys, conducting constituency research and enhancing public communication. 'One of the key aspects of the training is to inform legislators that not everything generated by AI tools is accurate,' Prof Saxena said. 'Equally important is knowing how to spot such errors and exercise human judgment when using platforms like ChatGPT.' Through Saxena and his team, legislators will also be introduced to a curated list of AI tools that can support governance, improve transparency, and make decision-making more data-driven — a skill set increasingly relevant in public administration. The workshop will feature hands-on demonstrations, as well as examples of software solutions developed at IIT-Kanpur, to showcase indigenous efforts in AI. Following the initial session, MLAs interested in delving deeper into the subject will be invited to the institute for further training. Prof Saxena added that the material being shared is already available in the public domain. 'The idea is to make this knowledge accessible and actionable in legislative contexts. We will also touch upon the economics of AI and its emerging role across governance.' The state government's initiative has drawn appreciation for attempting to bridge the technological literacy gap in politics at a time when AI is reshaping policy-making across the world. The schedule for the sessions has already been finalised, with professors set to begin instruction in the coming weeks.

Lucknow: It took over 4,675 reforms, including the digitisation of some 524 services, to make Uttar Pradesh a national model in Ease of Doing Business (EoDB). "At the core of this transformation is Invest UP, the state's nodal investment agency, which has implemented investor-centric initiatives that have positioned Uttar Pradesh among the top states in India for recent business reforms," an official spokesperson said. "The reforms implemented under the Business Reform Action Plan have ensured a favourable environment for MSMEs, startups, and FDI, while digital and responsive governance has also increased investor confidence," he said. Adding that the state's commitment and efficient approach helped UP become one of the leading investment destinations in India, he said: "The state govt has connected 45 departments to this initiative. As a result, key services related to industries, environment, electricity, pollution control, housing, and irrigation have now become integrated and trackable." "Over 200 business-related services have been included under the Public Service Guarantee Act, with clear timelines set for issuing approvals, NOCs, and licences," the spokesperson said. Officials said that the Chief Minister's office was monitoring all services in real-time through an integrated dashboard which had reduced delays and corruption while increasing accountability across departments.
