Today, the Chief Secretary, Dr Arun Kumar Mehta, asked the department to speed up the development of the UT dashboard and ‘your mobile our office’ app to enable J&K to go fully digital in the next three months.
He made these comments in a meeting held to review the development of the UT Dashboard. The secretaries of a few identified service-oriented departments attended the meeting, including the IT secretary.
The portal’s objective will be to monitor the progress of various development schemes/activities of the government departments. It will enable single point view/oversight to the top echelons of the J&K Government.
The implementation of the schemes will be assessed on a real-time basis based on the key performance indicators identified/set out by the respective departments.
The Chief Secretary asked the IT department to integrate the DGGI dashboard with 50 indicators and 140 data points and incorporate the 55 beneficiary oriented schemes with the UT dashboard to make the dashboard a real-time one-stop viewing/monitoring platform for all the schemes in the UT.
He said going forward, the scope and sweep of the dashboard can be further enhanced by adding more schemes and services, including the deliverables assigned to all the departments.
Earlier IT Secretary Prerna Puri made a small presentation on the progress achieved in developing the dashboard and outlined the steps taken to roll out the initiative and ‘your mobile out office’ app.
Prerna said, ‘your mobile our office’ app is in the final stages of development and will be rolled out shortly.
She said that in the beginning, this app would be enabled to provide only five services online on end to end basis and the number of the services will be extended going forward based on the lessons learnt in the process.
Dr Mehta asked the department to launch the ‘your mobile our office’ app within 15 days with five services to begin with. The Chief Secretary advised the department also to explore the possibility of providing 200 services available on the Umang app.
He asked the department to run the media campaigns about the utility of the app to benefit the people.
Saying that the ‘janbhagidgari’ portal has become more user-friendly after it was moved to a different server, he asked the department to sensitise the people about the portal so that more and more people can avail its benefit and become truly empowered.
He added that the government’s ongoing digital push would sustainably improve governance and public service delivery.
