ENA State 2025-08-05 17:45:18 <p><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Mumbai, Aug 5 (KNN)</strong> The Maharashtra government is making a major digital leap by developing an AI-powered super portal for its Labour and Industry departments.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The portal, expected to be launched by September 2025, aims to simplify services, reduce paperwork, and enhance user experience for businesses and workers alike.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The state cabinet has approved a budget of Rs 4.95 crore for the project. Once launched, this single integrated portal will replace the need to visit multiple department websites.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">It will use artificial intelligence to automate queries, assist users in real-time, and offer customised services based on user profiles and past interactions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Officials say the new portal will help industries and workers interact more efficiently with the government.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Currently, businesses have to deal with various processes like factory licensing, labour registrations, contract labour compliance, and inspections through different platforms. The super portal will consolidate all these services, making operations smoother.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">One of the key goals is to improve the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) in Maharashtra. By integrating AI, the portal will not only ensure faster service delivery but also reduce human error and delays.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The Labour Commissionerate and the Directorate of Industries will both be part of this digital transformation. The system is being designed to be transparent, trackable, and responsive to users needs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">It will also support mobile access, ensuring convenience for users across the state, especially in remote areas.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">This step aligns with the states larger vision of digital governance and industry-friendly reforms. By September, the government expects the AI-driven portal to be fully operational, setting a new standard in how public services are delivered.</span></p> <p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px">(KNN Bureau)</span></strong></em></p> 43074 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/state/maharashtra-govt-approves-rs-495-cr-ai-powered-super-portal-for-labour-and-industry 2025-08-05 17:45:18 knnindia.co.in
