DESME holds sensitisation workshop on Business Registration and House numbers

GANGTOK, 02 July: A sensitization workshop on Business Registration number (BRN) and House Number was held in Namchi and Gyalshing on 30 June and 01 July respectively.
In his key note address, DG-cum-Secretary, DESM&E, SD Tshering emphasized on the importance of collecting micro and macro level data for generating socio-economic indicators, informs a DESME press release.
The DG-cum-Secretary, DESM&E, SD Tshering, Director, Madhu  Pradhan and Joint Director, S K Pradhan were the resource persons for the workshop. The workshop was also attended by the district officials, BDOs, panchayats and Councilors.
The DESM&E is undertaking this task as the government of Sikkim through a notification has made it essential to assign BRN in order to prepare BR.
At the same time, owing to the absence of any address information system, DESM&E has been asked to develop and implement a system for assigning house numbers which will help in fulfilling: the administrative requirements (Passport, Ration Card, EPIC, etc); carrying census/survey and other studies and; help the service providers such as Post offices, PHE, Power deptt, courier services, etc in locating and delivering services (letters, couriers, etc).

BUSINESS REGISTRATION NUMBER
Business Register essentially means the list of all establishments pursuing various economic activities relating to production and or distribution of goods and or services at a place. Such a list when complete will provide an ideal frame for conducting sample surveys and undertaking studies of various economic activities for finding their pattern and trend in the country. The BR will help in the computation of State Domestic Product and generating other indicators of the trade sector
