A month after the Chief
Executive Officer of the state government's Investment Promotion Board
quit citing complaints related to red-tapism, Chief Minister Pramod
Sawant on Tuesday said that the Board would facilitate construction
licences to big ticket projects within 15 days of receipt of
application.
Sawant, who is the chairman of the Board, said that
all permissions required for setting up of major projects in the state
would be facilitated by the IPB and that investors would no longer have
to apply to different departments individually for seeking clearances
and licences.
"Henceforth, it will be fast-tracked. There will be
ease of doing business and a single window system (in place). After
this, any project under IPB will be issued construction licence within
15 days to start their project," Sawant told reporters, after chairing a
meeting of the Board on Tuesday.
The Board was set up some years back for smooth facilitation of big ticket investment projects in the coastal state.
In
September, Vishal Prakash, CEO of the Board had resigned claiming he
was "bogged down" by red-tapism vis-a-vis the functioning of the Board.
Sawant,
however, said, that at the meeting of the Board which was held under
his chairmanship on Tuesday, the body had resolved to ensure
implementation of a swift, single window delivery system, as per which
all permissions would be obtained by the Board itself by getting
individual government departments and other concerned semi-autonomous
bodies on board.
"Officials from concerned departments will
report to the IPB office for review of projects and whatever documents
required will be submitted to the IPB ... No department will create a
hurdle. We want to reassure the investors that once a project comes to
the IPC, they will get the licence to construct their project within 15
days," Sawant said, adding that the measure would send a message to
investors that the Goa government means business, when it comes to
attracting and facilitating investments.
Last month Goa's top
mining magnate Auduth Timblo of the Fomento Resources group had said
that "ease of doing business" sentiment in Goa was at its lowest ebb.
