The Haryana Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal on Monday said that the State is embracing the digital wave to ensure transparency and efficiency in its PM Gati Shakti implementation. The state has uploaded a whopping 271 data layers on the PM Gati Shakti portal by 26 departments.
While presiding over the 3rd Empowerment Group of Secretaries meeting under PM-Gati Shakti here in Chandigarh, Kaushal said that regular meetings under the State Monitoring Program (SMP) demonstrate the state's commitment to sustained progress and ensure that the PM Gati Shakti initiative continues to deliver tangible results, he added.
Kaushal said that Invest India's latest report reveals a substantial surge in Haryana's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), projecting an increase of over 16% compared to the previous fiscal year. This translates to a staggering US$ 140 Billion (Rs. 11,65,985 crore), a significant leap from the previous year's US$ 120.44 Billion (Rs.9,94195).
The Chief Secretary said that the state envisions streamlining the approval process for large-scale infrastructure projects, replicating successful structures, and fostering continued collaboration among departments. The commitment to optimize the PM Gati Shakti portal for the benefit of the state's development remains a top priority. A mechanism at state level has been established to approve all the infrastructure projects costing more than 100 crores from Network Planning Group (NPG), Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGOS).
He said that the state is actively leveraging the PM Gati Shakti portal to optimize project management and ensure seamless coordination between departments. The focus is not just on approvals; it's on execution. Departmental workshops, nodal officer training, and the proposed PPC-mirroring structure are all geared towards efficient project implementation.
