Kerala Chief Secretary to visit Gujarat to study CM dashboard for governance

The decision to send a high-level delegation to Gujarat to study its “good governance tool” comes two weeks after the CPI(M) party congress decided to take the “Kerala model of development and governance” across the country

Thiruvanathapuram: In a move that could have political implications, the CPI(M) government in Kerala is sending a high-level delegation to BJP-ruled Gujarat to study its Chief Minister’s Dashboard system for project implementation. The delegation, led by Chief Secretary V P Joy, is expected to leave for Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

The government issued an order on April 26 for the delegation, which includes IAS officer NSK Umesh, who is staff officer to the chief secretary, to travel to Gujarat.

The Dashboard allows the Gujarat CM to access data from all e-Governance applications in the state and monitor the same against defined key performance indicators. Using this data, the CMO can drill down to a granular level on the fly for red-flagged items and intervene through voice calls to administrative machinery at the village level. The application facilitates all of the above, thus creating a complex network of aggregation, visualisation, and enforcement. It performs collections of 3000+ indicators of 20 government sectors from various e-Governance applications on a daily basis, and integrates all the key stakeholders, i.e., all secretaries, on a single platform.
