The National Informatics Centre (NIC), Odisha has been conferred with the prestigious “Excellence in Digital Governance” award for its flagship project DEPMOS (Directorate of Export Promotion and Marketing – Online Services), a transformative e-Governance initiative of the Government of Odisha.

Transforming MSME Services Through Technology

DEPMOS has been developed and implemented by NIC Odisha to digitise and streamline services offered by the Directorate of Export Promotion and Marketing (DEPM) under the MSME Department.
