The government of Madhya Pradesh has developed the CSR portal to act as a one-stop solution for stakeholders involved in state CSR-related activities. It will provide a platform for end-users to provide feedback, select projects to invest in, and interact with other stakeholders. To summarize, the CSR portal of GoMP will achieve the following requirements:
Provide a platform for information dissemination to stakeholders. It also facilitates CSR promotion by providing information on achievements, events, and activities like CSR Awards and Success Stories.
Provide information on rules and regulations concerning CSR. Provide a platform for collaboration among various stakeholders involved in CSR activities and details of credible organizations and implementation partners for corporate collaboration.
It also provides information on companies carrying out CSR activities in the state and about ongoing and completed CSR projects in the state.
The government of Madhya Pradesh, Department of Industrial Policy and Investment Promotion, is the nodal department for facilitating corporate social responsibility in the state. Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. is the nodal agency.
CSR Facilitation Guidelines have mandated that all state departments and district collectors create a shelf of projects with a minimum budget of INR 1 lakh. Private companies can implement projects from this ‘Shelf of Projects’. However, they can take on CSR projects other than ‘Shelf of Projects’.
Government organizations and PSUs must mandatorily implement projects from the defined shelf projects. A state- and district-level CSR facilitation committee has been set up to facilitate the implementation of CSR projects in districts of Madhya Pradesh.
Madhya Corporate Social Responsibility Portal is a digital platform that facilitates and encourages the participation of corporations, NGOs, implementing partners, individuals, and other stakeholders in society. This interactive web portal will act as a one-stop solution for all stakeholders involved in CSR-related activities in the state.
Central/State PSUs, corporations, companies, individuals, and NGOs can register on this portal to contribute to government initiatives in various capacities.
MP Industrial Development Corporation Limited (MPIDC) is the state’s single-window secretariat for investment promotion and facilitation. MPIDC has launched an Integrated New Venture Establishment Portal (INVEST), which is the Single Window Portal for the state. INVEST is a one-stop solution for any investor wanting to establish & operate a business in the state. Now, investors would not be required to visit different state department portals; rather, they can avail themselves of various services and approvals required to set up their business through the INVEST Portal.
