Gujarat: 'CM Dashboard' for tracking government department’s activities completes one year

GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani on Saturday reiterated the commitment to create a strong database and to strengthen real-time monitoring of state government works through ‘CM Dashboard’.
Speaking on the occasion of successful completion of one year of ‘CM Dashboard’, he said, "The system was created to settle complaint of the common man, necessary for sustainable development. There has been improvement in the quality of people’s welfare services. The objective is to make the government officials accountable. It has helped reduce pendency level as in e-Dhara and City Surveys. The number of beneficiaries in Ayushman Bharat has increased from 26-lakh to 43-lakh and the number of soil health card reached 37-lakh."
He said the technology-based app has been developed as the third eye of the government at almost zero cost by the respective departments of the state.
During the last one year, he said, the number of parameters has been increased from 1,700 to 3,000, data collection centres from 196 to 563, number of authorities from 125 to1,200 and number of projects monitored from 450 to 1,650.
Rupani said the star rating would create healthy competition among different departments. It keeps track of government departments’ performance through 5Cs - Command, Control, Computer, Communication and Combat – necessary for sustainable development and good governance.
He said the digitization has helped the citizens. Version 2.0 of the CM Dashboard is now being developed, extending its scope from the state and district level down to taluka level under the direct supervision of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in Gandhinagar. He expressed desire to encompass police stations to ration cards under its ambit in near future.
Those present on the occasion included chief minister’s principal secretary MK Dash.
