In Current Affairs
November 2, 2015

A new website – http://www.ncdmaindia.gov.in has been launched by the National Clean Development Mechanism Authority (NCDMA) in the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change. The new website, launched on October 31, will capture the entire life cycle of CDM Projects. With step, the Ministry has taken another step in applying the principles of e-governance. This new website will hopefully address any and all needs that have been asked by those who want to know more about these projects. It is important for sectors such as this to have an online presence so they can connect with other businesses and audiences. This is where companies such as https://ecomitize.com/development/magento/ will come in useful for those who want to build on their website to make it accessible and informative.

The online uploading of project-related information in a module-wise pattern will help to capture the entire life cycle of CDM projects. It will also enable monitoring of the projects at different stages. This web-based application will promote transparency in operation and monitor sustainable development activities relating to the CDM projects in the country. It will be the first such web-based application developed globally in this direction.
