Date: Saturday, October 7, 2006 – 2:30pm
Venue: Town Hall, JC Road, Bangalore

CIVIC Bangalore & Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP) jointly organised an interactive session with representatives from RWA’s, NGO’s and CBO’s on “Suvarna Khata” & “New BMP Tenders for Solid Waste Management” of BMP on 7th Saturday 2006 at Town Hall, JC Road, Bangalore from 1430 to 1730. Invitation for the programme is enclosed as Annexure 1.

Background: Getting a Khata from BMPs revenue division is a herculean task. It requires an applicant to visit the concerned authorities not less than dozen times, wasting time, bribe to keep the file moving, running from pillar to post to track the file, etc. This would take not less than a month and in cases more than six months. Responding to the situation BMP has designed ‘Suvarna Khata’, a single window certifying scheme that simplifies the process and gets rid off all the nuisances. It is slated to come up by the end of the month.
