The Chhattisgarh Government will soon be setting up a ‘Centralised Project Management Unit’ (CPMU) for close monitoring of all ongoing Government projects in the State.
The Government will soon hire a Consultant for CPMU implementation, officials informed.
Notably, in June last year, the State Government had announced that Chief Minister Raman Singh would directly monitor the status of various public welfare schemes on the newly developed ‘Chief Minister’s Dashboard’ system using his iPad or the cell phone.
All the key schemes of the Chhattisgarh Government is being made available in the ‘Dashboard System,’ officials stated.
In the first phase of the project, nine key departments mainly Health and Family Welfare, Agriculture, Water Resources, Industry, PWD, Energy, School Education, Horticulture and Women and Child Development Department schemes were included.
The prime objective of the project is to display targets, national average and benchmarking.
Notably, insisting heavily on use of various technology platforms for faster and easier communication, Chief Minister Raman Singh in October 2014 had inaugurated the e-Jandarshan programme from his official residence in Raipur and became the first Chief Minister of any State to do so.
On the occasion, Singh had redressed grievances and heard demands of people from different parts of the State.
The Chief Minister had interacted with the people through e-Jandarshan and heard the demands and grievances of 50 applicants from eight districts.
The 50 applicants from Bilaspur, Korba, Janjgir-Champa, Surguja, Rajnandgaon, Raigarh, Kondagaon and Durg interacted with the Chief Minister through Google Hangout.
The Chief Minister, on other occasions had been meeting thousands of people at his residence who come with various demands and grievances for the past one decade every Thursday in Raipur.
