Govt starts e-Portal

Kathmandu,April 26 – The government has been able to materialise the e-Portal concept to facilitate entrepreneurs and investors.

The e-Portal, managed under the National Information Technology Centre, has added information and forms of 29 agencies that provide licences for establishing a business in the country.

The e-Portal will further add information and provide factual information to entrepreneurs, said secretary at the Office of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Krishna Hari Baskota in the meeting of e-Portal Coordination Committee.

“It has a separate directive to operate, revise and disseminate information,” he said, adding that the effort will definitely help industrial development in the country.

The directive has a regular updating provision for it to be reliable. If it is not updated, the concerned authority will be punished, he said, adding that a point-person for all related work has been appointed to support the update.

The government has already conducted seminars regarding it among entrepreneurs in Jhapa, Biratnagar and Birgunj. Such seminars will be held in other places too, Baskota said.

About 60,000 people have already visited the e-Portal that has had over 240,000 hits.

The meeting has decided to facilitate people visiting the e-Portal to seek information about the business environment and the government procedure to register their businesses or enterprises. Three more consultation workshops will be conducted, the secretary added.
