TN wants a Union-to-State methodology on accessing data for better governance / BL / 22 Aug

 

 

Extract :

 

 

[ A ]      DATA ACCESS

 

Ø      The Tamil Nadu government wants to approach the Centre to create a template for Union-to-State data connectivity and data sharing for better governance. A lot of data is not within the State’s reach — it is either with the Union government (like the IT department) or with the PSUs (oil marketing companies) — and there is no access to such data for the States, said Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan.

Ø      The State government is also planning an integrated database and data from all sources, including ration shops and voter IDs that are within the State’s control. It is also planning to do a door-to-door survey to have the huge database to create an integrated profile of every household and every citizen, the minister said in a discussion with S Narayan, Member, Economic Advisory Council and Tamil Nadu’s former finance secretary. 

 

[ B ]       COMMUNICATION WITH CITIZEN

Ø      “One of the things I am going to focus on is improving the communication with the common man. The government’s communication with the voters is not going to be through traditional newspaper advertisements. We will leverage digital media and get the government’s message, data to the people and take feedback as aggressively as possible, and tailor our actions based on the feedback that we hear from the many. We always hear from the few, who have access to us. But we want to hear from the many. There are tools for us to get to the many, and if need be, bypassing the few,” he said.
