Govt launches portal for ‘Udyami Mitras'
The cloud-based HRMS portal has been integrated with the state's Nivesh Sarathi platform and designed to digitise and streamline key administrative functions for Udyami Mitras including attendance, leave, payroll, Form-16 generation, and other HR operations.
It provides real-time access to employee records, promotes transparency, and reinforces administrative oversight across district and state levels. By transitioning from manual to system-based workflows, the portal enables end-to-end automation of HR processes.
UP industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi', who launched the portal, said it will strengthen the institutional framework for investor support in UP.
"Udyami Mitras play a critical role in translating UP's investor-friendly policies into on-ground impact. With the launch of this system, we are further empowering them with digital tools to function more effectively," he said.
Under the Mukhyamantri Udyami Mitra Yojana launched in 2023, over 110 trained Udyami Mitras have been deployed across districts and industrial authorities. They act as facilitators between investors and govt, supporting tasks such as land identification, MoU tracking, investment proposal verification, industrial interactions, and resolution of bottlenecks through platforms like Nivesh Mitra, Nivesh Sarathi, and OIMS.

UP gears up for tourism overhaul: Services, jobs, heritage in focus
LUCKNOW The UP tourism department on Wednesday announced a series of public-focused reforms aimed at boosting tourism, creating local employment and preserving cultural heritage, during a high-level departmental review meeting held at Paryatan Bhawan here. Now, tourist places would be better maintained and have more local homestay options with enriched cultural experiences. (Pic for representation) At the heart of the new directives is the urgent push to fill long-pending vacancies across the tourism and culture department, especially at the district level, which has impacted service delivery to citizens and tourists alike. Officials were instructed to fill pending vacancies immediately — through outsourcing if necessary — to ensure smoother operations in local tourism offices. 'Citizens of UP will soon feel a shift towards a more accessible, community-centred and accountable tourism ecosystem. As the state readies to revise its policies and rejuvenate its institutions, public benefit remains the central theme — from more jobs and better services to a stronger connection with UP's diverse cultural identity,' said minister of tourism and culture Jaiveer Singh during the meeting. He emphasized that the state's 2022 tourism policy will be reframed, drawing best practices from other Indian states, to reflect current needs and public expectations. Now, tourist places would be better maintained and have more local homestay options with enriched cultural experiences. Officials were warned against delays or negligence in implementing public projects. Local jobs, local culture Recognising the untapped potential of rural and tribal regions, officials agreed that homestays be introduced in villages showcasing the unique Tharu tribe culture. This initiative aims to provide employment and income for rural families, while giving tourists an authentic cultural experience. The officials stressed over the importance of developing eco-tourism, calling for a long-term plan to create sustainable destinations that support local ecosystems and economies. The Ganga Gram initiative, which focuses on villages along the sacred river, will be fast-tracked, with all relevant data to be submitted to headquarters promptly. Bringing the world to UP On the international front, officials proposed a strategic outreach campaign to attract foreign tourists, especially from Buddhist countries. The ministry will seek coordination with Indian embassies abroad and request support from the ministry of external affairs to organize roadshows and cultural exchange programmes, building UP's image as a spiritual and cultural hub. Protecting heritage, reviving assets To strengthen historical awareness and educational tourism, officials agreed for installation of informative plaques at heritage sites and historical documentation of each location. The progress on various infrastructure projects was also reviewed, including guest houses and tourism units and emphasized turning loss-making properties into viable assets through public-private partnerships (PPP), where necessary. Illegal encroachments on departmental lands will be removed in coordination with local administrations, and those spaces will be utilized for public-benefit projects, they added. Culture dept under scanner The culture department came under close scrutiny, as the minister expressed dissatisfaction over slow implementation of previous directives. He reviewed recruitment processes, procurement of statues and performance of cultural academies and institutions. The minister reiterated the government's commitment to preserving and promoting the state's rich artistic legacy while ensuring better governance and transparency. Two new MoUs were also signed during the meeting, indicating ongoing collaborations and future partnerships. The meeting was attended by principal secretary Mukesh Kumar Meshram, special secretary Isha Priya (tourism), special secretary Sanjay Kumar Singh (culture), among others.

Gold, silver touch all-time high in domestic market
1 2 3 Nagpur: Gold and silver prices have reached all-time highs in the domestic market, with the precious yellow metal trading at Rs1,09,000 per tola (10 grams) and silver at Rs1,16,700 per kg. Internationally, gold remains below its 2022 peak of $3,500 an ounce, but a weaker rupee has pushed prices to record levels in India. Silver is just over a dollar shy of its 12-year high of nearly $50 an ounce, with international rates above $48 on Wednesday. Traders attribute the surge in precious metals prices to increased Indian imports ahead of the festive season, coupled with uncertainty over US trade policies and Federal Reserve's rate decisions. In times of economic uncertainty, funds typically flow into gold as a safe-haven asset, with de-dollarization also playing a significant role, they said. Rajesh Rokde, president of Gems and Jewellery (Domestic) Council (GJC), noted that gold prices stood at $3,500 in 2022. On Wednesday, prices hovered around $3,430, dropping to approximately $3,300 as US markets opened on Wednesday and it was night in India. Despite current gold prices being about $200 below the peak, the weaker rupee has kept domestic gold rates elevated. Even in the US, prices are roughly $200 higher per ounce than they were a month ago.
