Punjab Newsline, Shimla/New Delhi, March 5-
Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh today here said that, due to the continuous efforts and representations of the state government the central government has sanctioned a grant of Rs.50 crore for the establishment of Municipal Shared Services Centres (MSSCs) for National Data Centre in Himachal Pradesh under the 15th Finance Commission.
He said that the state government under the guidance of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has been actively working to strengthen municipal administration by modernizing urban local bodies. He said that we were working to address critical challenges such as limited manpower, financial constraints and lack of technical support and the introduction of MSSCs would play a significant role in improving governance and service delivery across municipalities.
PWD Minister said that the MSSSC would also help streamline essential services such as issuing birth and death certificates, trade licenses and grievance redressal, similar to the Passport Seva Kendras. Apart from this these centers would function as centralized processing hubs for accounting, payroll management and vendor payments.
