The Odisha Chief Secretary examined the IT‑driven Business Reform Action Plan (BRAP) and Digital Business Reform Action Plan (DBRAP) aimed at simplifying procedures for enterprises in the state.
Odisha's Chief Secretary conducted a detailed review of the state's Business Reform Action Plan (BRAP) and its digital counterpart, DBRAP, both of which are powered by information technology. The assessment focused on how these reforms streamline licensing, registration and compliance processes for businesses operating in Odisha.
The IT‑enabled framework is intended to reduce procedural delays, cut down transaction costs and improve transparency for investors and entrepreneurs. Officials highlighted that the digital platforms integrate multiple government departments, allowing applications to be processed online and status updates to be tracked in real time.
The review is part of the state government's broader agenda to enhance the ease of doing business and attract greater private investment. Senior bureaucrats were briefed on implementation milestones and next‑step actions to ensure the reforms translate into measurable improvements for the business community.
