Madhya Pradesh to establish Ease of Doing Business Secretariat
The Madhya Pradesh government has passed a bill to set up an Ease of Doing Business Secretariat.
This secretariat will help industries by solving their problems quickly.
The government will form committees at the state and district levels to promote investment.
The MP Industrial Development Corporation will be the main agency for this.
Department officers will be given more power to approve things, and industries will be able to start operations with a self-declaration.
However, inspections for health, safety, environment, and security will continue as before.
Some people think this will make it easier to do business, while others worry about less oversight.
