Events Industry & Economy - Excise and Customs IT can help Customs do better: Premji Our Bureau
Bangalore , April 6 Application of IT to Customs can contribute to bringing in efficiencies, according to the Wipro Chairman, Mr Azim Premji. He was speaking today at the World Customs Organisation (WCO) IT conference. "From the Customs point of view, it makes sense to outsource IT to those who know it best. "The application of IT would help the Department in improving connectivity and standardisation of documentation, he added. Similarly, IT could also help in completing the bill of entry well before the arrival of the cargo, facilitating easy passage, he added. This would eventually help in improving productivity. The Infosys Chairman, Mr N.R. Narayanmurthy, said that it was time for India to take advantage of low and medium technology manufacturing for employment generation and improving the incomes in rural areas. IT applications in Customs would help bring in greater transparency, improved efficiency, and accountability, he added. He also wanted the Government and organisations to adopt meritocracy for attracting talent and capital into the country. This, he said, would eventually help enhance the level of excellence in the country.
