In 2016, Jharkhand introduced the Single Window System Center, promising a seamless business experience for entrepreneurs. However, a recent report Shockingly, 99% of these centers are plagued by closures and inefficiencies, severely hampering the state’s business-friendly initiatives.Jharkhand’s Single Window System
Challenges Highlighted:
- Operational Chaos: Among 24 districts, only Ranchi hosts a functional center. Others lack staff, infrastructure, internet connectivity, or power supply, rendering the system ineffective.
- Broken Promises: Districts like Dhanbad, Bokaro, Jamshedpur, and Dumka illustrate the system’s failures. Despite grand inaugurations, these centers lack essential equipment, internet access, or even a physical presence.
- Entrepreneurial Struggles: Entrepreneurs face hurdles at every turn. Bureaucratic red tape, delays, arbitrary rejections, and rampant corruption create a hostile environment for business growth.
What was conceived as a catalyst for Jharkhand’s industrial and commercial progress has transformed into a symbol of mismanagement and disregard. The Single Window System Center, instead of facilitating entrepreneurs, has become a hindrance, pushing them and potential investors to the edge. Urgent reforms and proactive measures are essential to revive the state’s deteriorating business landscape.
