Mizoram CM launches two digital dashboards, aiming accountable governance model

Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma, on October 28 inaugurated two new digital dashboards - the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Dashboard and the Mizoram State Project Monitoring Dashboard (MPLAN), at the Conference Hall of the Planning and Programme Implementation Department.
 

In his address, the chief minister emphasised the importance of sustainable development projects as a key element in Mizoram’s growth. He noted that the state government will establish the framework for these initiatives, setting priorities that will be reflected in the SDG Dashboard.
 

“Our goal is to create a transparent and accountable governance model”, said Lalduhoma. 
 

“We have established the Mizoram State Project Monitoring Committee, which includes representatives from all political parties and NGOs, ensuring inclusivity in the monitoring process. This new dashboard will provide real-time project insights, facilitating more effective daily oversight and ensuring improved outcomes in all development initiatives across Mizoram," he added.
 

SDG Dashboard is partially funded by Ministry of Personnel Public Grievances and Pension and Planning and Programme Implementation Department, Government of Mizoram, in partnership with UNDP for the set up of SDG Dashboard and CSR Matchmaking Portal in the state.
 

To fast-track local level monitoring and implement the SDG’s, States need to develop their own Local Indicator Framework (LIF) based on their individual critical development priorities, data requirements, available infrastructure, and resources. 
 

The Government of Mizoram has already adapted the LIF and has drafted indicators for monitoring SDGs at village level, district level, urban local bodies and at the state level.
 

The dashboard will capture data as per indicators mapped to Departments, Schemes, Districts, PRIs. SDG Dashboard can be fully accessed by Chief Minister, Chief Secretary, Department HODs and other officials along with limited access of reports/ graphs to citizens via public access.
