"Gradually, all services of the board shall be made online for the benefit of the industry and the people at large."
He lauded the efforts of JN Sharma, head of e-governance, and his team for developing and customizing the web-based system with the help of National Informatics Centre and ministry of environment and forest, New Delhi.
