  • DE-BB: Neuruppiner können Fahrzeugpapiere im Bürgerbüro ändern lassen

    Mehr Bürgernähe bei Aufgaben der Kreisverwaltung macht Schule. In Neuruppin können Bürgerinnen und Bürger ab morgen bei einem Umzug parallel zur Adressänderung im Personalausweis auch ihre Fahrzeugpapiere umschreiben lassen, wie Innenministerium, Landkreis Ostprignitz-Ruppin und Stadt Neuruppin heute mitteilten. Auch Fahrzeugabmeldungen können dann im Bürgerbüro der Stadt vorgenommen werden. Fahrzeughalter sparen durch diesen neuen Service Zeit und Wege, denn der Gang zur Kreisverwaltung entfällt.

    Neuruppin ist nach Wittstock die zweite Stadt des Landkreises, die den Service anbietet. In Wittstock können die Fahrzeugpapiere auch im Mobilen Bürgerbüro direkt in den Ortsteilen geändert werden. Ostprignitz-Ruppin ist bislang der einzige Landkreis in Brandenburg, in dem kreisangehörige Kommunen Änderungen in Fahrzeugpapieren vornehmen können.

  • IN: E-governance@CSC still far off for villages

    After four years and several missed deadlines, the R5,742-crore project to set up 1.26 lakh common service centres (CSCs) across the countryside is plodding along, thanks mainly to lukewarm interest from the private sector and poor access to internet and electricity. Until March 2011, only 94,786 CSCs were set up, or only 75% of the target. What’s worse, even functioning CSCs are anything but successful.

    When the ambitious project was launched, private firms bid so aggressively that there was negative viability gap funding. Bidders offered revenue support for a four-year period that would set-off against revenue generation through e-governance services. However, that has not happened, as Meena Chaturvedi, CEO of Srei Sahaj e-Village explains: “There is an inherent resistance within the government to give government-to-customer (G2C) services as it will bring transparency into the system. The problem is that services are not coming, besides electricity and connectivity issues. In fact, companies did not understand the rural market at all before getting into the scheme.”

  • IN: Jammu & Kashmir: ‘Limited role’ in extending services to Khidmat Centres, says J&K Bank

    A day after hundreds of Khidmat Centre holders or Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLE) held protest demonstrations and faced arrest while demanding release of service, Jammu and Kashmir Bank has came with a clarification saying that it has ‘limited role’ in extending the services.
