States Unite for Gati Shakti: Data Management Milestone

03 Jan 2024 CW Team

Government bodies across states and ministries in India are pooling their resources to develop a comprehensive checklist aimed at enhancing data management for the Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP). This collaborative effort seeks to create a unified framework for collecting, organizing, and utilizing data crucial to the successful execution of the ambitious infrastructure development programme.

The checklist will cover various facets, including project timelines, resource allocation, and progress tracking. This cooperative approach aims to eliminate redundancies, improve coordination, and ensure the seamless flow of information between different levels of governance.

As Gati Shakti NMP plays a pivotal role in propelling India's infrastructure growth, the efficient management of data becomes paramount for its success. This initiative underscores the commitment of states and ministries towards achieving the goals outlined in the Gati Shakti NMP.

By standardizing data management practices, the participating entities aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and overall project efficiency. As the checklist takes shape, it is poised to become a cornerstone in the effective execution of infrastructure projects across the nation.
