By Bizodisha Bureau, Bhubaneswar, November 16, 2017: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday launched the newly developed Government of Odisha Single Window for Investor Facilitation and Tracking (GO SWIFT) portal to the investor community and the public.

The GO SWIFT integrates all existing technological applications of the Industries Department including GO PLUS, Central Inspection Framework, Automated Post Allotment Application, CSR Portal and State Project Monitoring Group portal.

Now the approval process for 32 services from 15 state government departments has been made online. The portal provides updated information relating to latest rules, policy initiatives and reforms undertaken by the government of Odisha to facilitate and handhold the investors.

Access to all these services is now available through single sign-on user credentials. To facilitate tracking and monitoring of applications, GO SWIFT sends out SMS and e-mail notifications to investors at critical stages of processing of applications. The investors can also monitor the real-time status of their submitted applications through a dashboard on the portal.

With the provision of Department Dashboards for senior government officials on GO-SWIFT, officials can monitor all important details concerning each industrial unit in the State including status of approvals by various departments, employment generated by the unit, grievance resolution and incentive disbursement.

Launching the portal, Patnaik said, “To ensure efficiency, all clearances required by the industry will be delivered in a time bound manner as per the timelines laid down under the Odisha Right to Public Services Act.”
