Some Reviews From Stakeholders
First of all, I would like to commend the mining department for bringing about a revolutionary change that has significantly streamlined our operations. The introduction of a paperless process has not only simplified our work but also reduced manpower requirements at the site. With the implementation of this portal, our tasks have become remarkably easier, leading to a substantial saving of resources. Furthermore, the portal provides us with real-time data, giving us instant access to critical information. For instance, the generation of Form C, complete with the date and time, is now available at our fingertips with just a click of a button. This transformation has truly enhanced efficiency and productivity, and we deeply appreciate the mining department's efforts in driving such impactful innovation.

I recently started my lease in June, and I must say, your online payment system has been very convenient. It eliminates the need for physical visits, ensuring that all EMIs are deposited on time without any hassle. This is a significant improvement and a feature I truly appreciate. I will share more feedback as I continue to use the system, but for now, I want to commend the team for this excellent effort.

Mine Mitra has truly been a great help to our citizens, like a good friend. Now, I can control my entire business from my phone. For example, when I had to apply for Bhandaran in 2018, I had to make about ten visits to the mining office. In contrast, in 2021, I didn’t have to visit the mining office even once, and my license was delivered directly to my email. With such facilities, our business is definitely growing, from technical manpower to an employment bank.
