Lucknow: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has directed all departments to use the PM Gati Shakti portal while planning any project, especially those associated with ease of doing business and ease of living.
The portal brings together state and central departments for better coordination, planning and implementation of projects.
The CM was reviewing the implementation of the National Master Plan for Multi Modal Connectivity Plan, otherwise known as the PM Gati Shakti scheme on Tuesday.
The CM said that currently all departments do not have information about projects being implemented by one particular department. Due to the lack of coordination and information sharing, there is a huge gap between micro planning and macro implementation.
“Departments work in isolation and one scheme might adversely impact another scheme. The PM Gati Shakti portal is a solution for this. Details of all projects being implemented by departments will be available on this. Cross sectoral interaction will help determine priority projects, and also assist in making a master plan, allowing for real time monitoring of projects and schemes,” he said.
He added that the portal will help speed up projects, assist in making a combined plan for basic infrastructure projects and facilitate mapping of proposed and current connectivity projects.
The CM gave directions for the setting up of an empowered group of officials with the chief secretary as chairperson which will review the implementation of the plan to check logistical efficiency. The network planning group under the chairpersonship of the IIDC will have the responsibility of preparing a state level plan from 2020-21 to 2024-25.
He said that a technical support unit will be formed under the CEO of Invest UP. It will consist of an economic development specialist, PMU-logistics and supply chain specialist etc, who will provide technical and scheme related services.
So far 17 sectors have been integrated. To make the portal more useful, the CM said that the information on land records, drainage, power transmission, road, sewer line, water supply, traffic light, bus terminal etc should also be uploaded. The work should be completed in three months.
