India needs efficient project management rather than more projects

Reportedly, 38% of some 970 investment plans worth Rs 10 lakh crore announced during 2014-15 are being implemented.

Sure, over one-third have taken off, but two-thirds of the projects announced are yet to see the light of day.

We can surely do more, update and modernise project identification, tracking and follow-through.

Accelerating infrastructure investment calls for fast-tracking detailed project reports, garnering approvals and tying up finances on the double-quick.

Delay and dither would drive up costs and make projects unviable.

There seems huge scope to revamp the whole process of conceptualising and completing big-ticket investment projects.

Faster, more efficient project management would reduce costs, improve productivity and step up, in the process, our competitiveness.

We need to digitise and democratise project tracking and implementation.

What’s required are norms and guidelines so that all stakeholders concerned can use readily available information technology tools to track and keep abreast of individual projects across sectors and industries.

 In this digital age, it is entirely possible to use dedicated apps and novel software to quantify actual progress in myriad projects on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis.

Project implementation need no longer remain a black box.

Instead, it should be possible to get a regular project perspective from a national, regional, state or even district level, and we need to fast-forward such a system.

The Digital India project would be thoroughly below potential if we do not leverage rising internet access and usage to get all concerned citizens to track and follow projects and their implementation and hold the executive to account.

It can prove to be transformative, even revolutionary.
