In the fifth year of CM Dhami's tenure, tax recovery in Uttarakhand is set for a major tech upgrade
Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami (ANI) As chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami enters the fifth year of his tenure, the tax collection landscape in Uttarakhand is poised for a significant transformation. The state's tax system is being enhanced with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), aimed at making collections more efficient and robust. A proposal worth Rs 12 crore from the State Tax Department has received in-principle approval. The use of AI is expected to boost collections under both SGST (State Goods and Services Tax) and VAT (Value Added Tax). According to IS Brijwal, Additional Commissioner of the State Tax Department, efforts are underway — under the chief minister's directive — to further streamline and modernize the tax collection system. A comprehensive framework has already been prepared. While the department has already been leveraging technology, it is now preparing to implement AI-based systems. The government has given its in-principle nod to the department's proposal, and AI-based systems will soon become a reality in the state's revenue machinery.

Land pooling for Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor starts
Indore: Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) has announced the commencement of land pooling for the proposed 19.60 km Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor, which will have commercial and industrial activities on its both sides. The infrastructure project aims to enhance connectivity between Pithampur, airport, and other key urban areas, thereby promoting commercial and industrial activities in the state. MPIDC, Indore executive director Himanshu Prajapati said, "The layout for the proposed 19.60 km Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor has been finalised, and with this, the process of land pooling has started. Consents for more than 250 acre reached us, and we are actively collecting documents from the landowners. " The corridor, stretching 20 km in length and 75 metre in width, will encompass both govt and private lands, with an expected extension of 300 metre on either side. The project carries an estimated cost exceeding Rs 2,400 crore. MPIDC has published the plot numbers of lands from 17 villages, including Kordiabardi, Nainod, Rinjalay, Bisnavada, Navadapanth, Shriram Talavali, Sindoda, Sindodi, Shivkheda, Narlay, Mokalay, Dehri, Sonvay, Bhainslay, Bagoda, Tihi, and Dhannad. Under the Land Pooling Act, there is currently a provision to return 50 per cent of the land to its owners. However, for the Economic Corridor, chief minister Mohan Yadav in March announced the allocation of 60 per cent of the total developed land to the farmers. "As the land acquisition process gains momentum, anticipation builds around the potential economic benefits that the Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor will unlock, paving the way for enhanced industrial growth and job creation in the region. The coming months will be crucial as MPIDC continues its efforts to realise this ambitious infrastructure project," said Prajapati.
