New Delhi, Sept 17 (KNN) A new hi-tech online “e- Portal” has been launched today for submission, surveillance and follow up of development projects relating to Northeast falling under the category of Non-Lapsable Central Pool of Resource (NLCPR).
The portal was launched by Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Jitendra Singh.
On the occasion, Singh said that the portal has a special relevance for the DoNER Ministry because this is a region based ministry and the projects are submitted by the eight different states of northeast.
The new portal will help in keeping track of various stages of project activities among different departments, ministries including planning department of north eastern state governments and line ministries of central government. It will also avoid complaints regarding delays or extraneous considerations including corruption, he added.
In order to overcome delays, the portal will be programmed to send automatic computerised reminders to the state governments and others concerned, he informed.
Concerning the allegations of misappropriation of funds, the minister said that the portal will help in keeping surveillance on financial, physical and visual progress for timely completion of projects.
This indeed is a major step to bring the people of northeast closer to the governance of northeast by the government of India, he observed.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister of Nagaland, TR Zeliang called on Singh and discussed various issues related to the development of the state as well as the current political scenario in Nagaland.
