Very soon, the Chief Minister will be able to monitor the status of all development projects in the state, in real-time, on his mobile, laptop and other digital platforms via a digital dashboard.
The State Directorate of Information Technology has been working on an electronic interface that aggregates and visualizes data from multiple sources. The dashboard will be ready for use in four months, and with it, Devendra Fadnavis will be able to access information about the monorail, metro rail corridors, sealinks, bridges and flyovers, and other social sector initiatives.
The CM will also be able to monitor information regarding investment intentions worth Rs 8 lakh crore received during Make In India week, and Rs 16 lakh crore proposed in the recently concluded Magnetic Maharashtra summit.
"The idea is also to put in place an efficient decision support system which will substantially reduce dependency on government officers, work contractors and various agencies. It will be an independent monitoring mechanism where in CM can categorize and prioritize projects," said State information secretary SVR Srinivas.
In the second phase, members of the public can access a portion of the live dashboard, giving the workings of the projects transparency.
The digital dashboard will also help the CM fix loopholes, curb scams and anticipate and lift roadblocks.
