GNIDA switches to e-office to process files faster
Noida: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has gone paperless with the rollout of the e-office system, to enhance digital governance and faster public service delivery. The platform, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), allows officials to process, approve, and track files online from anywhere within Uttar Pradesh. GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar has directed all departments to operate exclusively through the e-office framework. The transition aligns with state government directives mandating e-office adoption across departments. It is expected to reduce bureaucratic delays and enhance investor confidence, especially as it integrates seamlessly with the Nivesh Mitra portal, UP's single-window clearance system for business approvals. All online applications, including those via Nivesh Mitra, will now be handled digitally. This will streamline processes for licences, NOCs, and other approvals. Over 55,000 physical files have been scanned and digitised to create a searchable repository. To facilitate the shift, around 160 GNIDA employees have been equipped with email IDs and digital signatures. Additional CEO Prerna Singh said the e-office system ensures files are processed within a set timeframe. "It offers real-time status tracking, which boosts transparency, accountability, and convenience for citizens," she said. The initiative is being implemented statewide under the guidance of the Uttar Pradesh Electronics Corporation Limited (UPECL).

Water reservoir cleaning drive in full swing in Gr Noida; to wrap up by July 6
The district administration is undertaking a comprehensive cleaning of all underground water reservoirs amid rising concerns over water quality and related health risks in Greater Noida, officials said on Friday. Of the city's 19 reservoirs, 14 have been cleaned so far, and the remaining five will be covered by July 6, according to a schedule issued by the water department. 'The cleaning of underground reservoirs is being carried out as per the pre-decided schedule. Water department officials have been instructed to ensure that the work is completed on time without compromising on hygiene standards,' said Prerna Singh, additional chief executive officer (ACEO), after inspecting progress on Thursday. To minimise disruption during cleaning, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has released a detailed sector-wise schedule and arranged for water supply through tankers where needed. Cleaning at Sector MU-1 EWS Society is ongoing from June 13 to 15. Sectors 36 and 37 will follow from June 17 to 19; Gamma I, Gamma II, Beta I, and Beta II from June 22 to 24; Alpha I and II from June 26 to 28; Delta I, II, and III from June 30 to July 2; and the Sports Complex between July 4 and 6. Residents have been informed in advance about low water pressure, and helplines (7983604110, 9811839456, 9873763995, 9899331572, 9654302913, 8130504019, 8377911380, 9871090100) are active for tanker requests. 'The cleaning schedule has also been uploaded to the authority's official website for public access,' added Singh. Sandeep Mehta, a resident of Gamma II, said, 'We have had complaints earlier of foul-smelling tap water during summers. This cleaning drive is reassuring.' However, Rajeev Thakur of Delta added, 'Advance intimation and better timing could have helped. Many residents are unaware of the tanker facility.' In parallel, GNIDA has launched a citywide overhead water tank cleaning drive. Starting in early June with Sigma IV, this phase-wise effort will run until July 10, covering Chi, Omega, Knowledge Park, Gamma, and other zones. Officials clarified that while underground reservoir cleaning is routine, overhead tanks—which directly serve households—are being cleaned systematically for the first time this year.

The Power of Influence - Creators & Audiences in The Spotlight at WAVES 2025
Manisha Koirala in 'Heeramandi' On Day Two of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting's WAVES Summit , some of the most influential voices in entertainment came together to explore the dynamic relationship between audiences and creators, and how this interplay shapes the future of storytelling. The panel featured Monika Shergill (Vice President-Content, Netflix India), Prerna Singh (CEO, SLB Productions), Sameer Nair (MD, Applause Entertainment ) and actors Shefali Shah (Delhi Crime), Aditi Rao Hydari ( Heeramandi : The Diamond Bazaar), and Zahan Kapoor (Black Warrant). The conversation spotlighted the evolving balance between creative vision and audience demand, and how digital platforms are reshaping this relationship in real-time. From artistic risk-taking to fan-driven momentum, the panelists discussed the future of entertainment and the role of authenticity, cultural rootedness, and innovation in storytelling. Talking about audiences Monika Shergill, Vice President- Content, Netflix India emphasized 'The audience is always telling us something—they want stories that reflect their lives, their aspirations, and sometimes, offer a beautiful escape. At Netflix, we've seen how the most personal, rooted stories can become global phenomena—Heeramandi is a perfect example. With all its grandeur, it still told a forgotten, deeply human story of women who shaped history. That's the magic of streaming—it brings together technology and creativity to take a story from a writing room to over 190 countries. But the real alchemy happens when a creator's passion meets a deep understanding of their audience. That's when a show isn't just watched—it's felt, shared, and remembered' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experience three trade fairs with just one ticket Undo automatica 2025 Undo Laser World of Photonics Undo World of Quantum Undo Visit automatica: June 24-27, Munich Undo Prerna Singh, CEO, Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions added, 'As a creator, you're also your first audience—you constantly wonder, will this work, or will it make history? Heeramandi began as an original story at our production house, initially conceived as a film. But once we read the material, it was clear it needed the scale and depth of a series. We poured everything into it—the cinematic grandeur, the Shahi Mahal, and the untold story of freedom that deserved its place in history. When it launched, the response was overwhelming—Heeramandi resonated in over 43 countries. From the very beginning, we had a strong conviction it would find its audience' Talking about the importance of great storytelling, Sameer Nair, Managing Director, Applause Entertainment said, 'Everyone's a storyteller. But what storytellers need the most are story listeners. And the larger your group of story listeners, the more successful a storyteller you become. We often assume we know what the audience wants, or that the audience doesn't know what they want. But the truth is, all creators are also audiences. We are equally influenced by content, and then we proceed to tell the best story possible. The one thing that always works, every time, is going back to good storytelling. If there's a heartbreak on screen and it doesn't give you a lump in your throat, it's not good storytelling.' Talking about her International Emmy winning show, actress Shefali Shah said, 'Every time I step in front of the camera, I feel like I'm starting from scratch—like I know nothing. That fear drives me. With Delhi Crime, we made a show we believed in, but I never imagined it would become what it did. And every time I return to that character, I'm terrified all over again. I don't pick roles by strategy—I'm drawn to what feels raw, honest, and real. If it doesn't strike a chord with me, I know it won't connect with anyone on the other side of the screen. That's the only way I know how to work' Talking about the global sensation Heeramandi and how far and wide it travelled, Aditi Rao Hydari says, 'As an actor, I don't think in terms of film or series—it's always about stepping into a moment with honesty and letting it flow. That's where the magic lives. Streaming has made storytelling truly global—today, a performance rooted in one culture can resonate across continents. After Heeramandi released, I was in Cannes, then Italy and London, and people kept calling out, 'Bibbojaan!' They didn't always know my name, but they remembered what they felt. That's the power of a story well told—it travels, connects, and stays with people. Just like when a child listens to their grandmother's story—it's not about the technique, it's about the emotion it leaves behind' Talking about his breakout series, Black Warrant actor, Zahan Kapoor, 'When we were making Black Warrant, we knew it wasn't the most obvious or glamorous story—it's set in Tihar Jail in the '80s, told from a jailer's point of view. But from the first screening, Netflix just got it. That kind of instant belief in the story was rare and special. As an actor, it's incredibly moving when someone comes up and says, 'Aap wahi ho na…Jailer?' It reminds me that even the quiet, difficult stories can leave a mark—and that audiences are ready to embrace all kinds of narratives, not just the larger-than-life ones.'
