Greetings from GCCI!
Gujarat state’s machinery is gearing-up for the forthcoming assembly elections. As
a part of the democratic process, people of the state get an opportunity to cast their
vote with the hope of better days ahead.
With a view to boost logistics in India, recently the government granted
infrastructure status to the logistics sector. The move would help the companies in
this sector to attract huge investment and give a shot in the arm to the country’s
trade.
GST relief and amendments are pouring in and some more are in pipeline, but GST
still has to get stabilised to generate real effect on India’s GDP and economy.
Our Chamber is actively participating on newly formed platform of regional
council conceptualised by Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry to jointly
represent the trade & business related issues to the government and various
agencies to achieve ultimate aim of nurturing, facilitating & transforming
commerce & industry of Gujarat State. The next regional council meeting will be
held at our chamber during 1st week of January, 2018 and hence, trade related
issues are invited from our all members for presentation during the meeting.
A joint delegation of our Chamber & ISMA visited New Delhi recently and had
meeting with MOS for Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution Shri C. R.
Chaudhary to highlight negative impacts likely to arise on closer of salt offices all
over India. They also met various top officials of Indian Railway and strongly
represented various issues related to goods traffic and salt loading.
Think positive as this does make a difference in the way you act. Work hard & be
happy.

With the vision of accelerating delivery of e-services as
envisaged under NeGP and optimising ICT spending of the
government, the Government of India has launched the
initiative of establishing the e-Gov AppStore. The e-Gov App
Store is a national level common repository of customizable
and configurable applications, components and web services
that can be re-used by various government
agencies/departments at Centre and States, which will include
the setting up of a common platform to host and run
applications (developed by government agencies or private
players) at National Clouds.
Following are the objectives for setting up the e-Gov AppStore:
To speed up the development and deployment of e-Gov applications
To replicate easily successful applications across States
To avoid duplication of effort and cost in development of similar application
To ensure availability of certified applications following common standards at one place
Core and common applications that have high demand and are replicable across the central and state
levels are likely to be included in e-Gov AppStore, which shall be hosted on the National Cloud.
Common components like the payment gateway, messaging platform, MIS reporting, etc, will also
be made available in the e-Gov AppStore. Any department can use the services of e-Gov AppStore
through two primary means – either by directly running an application available in the respective e-
Gov AppStore or by downloading an application from the respective e-Gov AppStore.
The e-Gov AppStore has the following features:
Allows sharing of applications
Allows search for applications
Provides basic information about an application on selection
Allows users to review an application provide feedback and rate an application
For contributing applications, there is three level approval process for government applications and
two level approval process for private applications
Allows authenticated (privileged) users to download application for consumption
The e-Gov AppStore is also a repository showcasing NIC applications and components which were
developed for specific requirement of States. These applications are not yet in their productized form. Going
ahead, some of the popular applications will be productized and made available on the e-Gov AppStore to
be used as SaaS.
