Walk through of Scheme MIS’s , LGD Seeding & GIS DISHA - MORD Walk through of Scheme MIS’s DISHA - MORD Different Shades of Scheme MIS LGD unique Code connecting all MIS’s.
Granularity of Schemes MIS Data at varying levels from State to Villages GIS which is also on LGD, can help in visualization of schemes Issues Faced while Integration MIS’s • Identifying the MIS system, since in some Ministry’s there are multiple MIS systems and some under development • Data sharing on the pretext of data security , {While the data is available on public portal !

!!}
!!}

• Data Availability: While lots of data is captured, however only limited set is made available (information lost in noise) • Data Reuse : Limited data reuse even locational data stored in multiple tables • Visualization of Data …..

Structure decisions with unstructured data !

!


• Data Sharing Mechanism: Web Services, excel, SQL Dump…… • Data Ownership since its being entered manually at different levels (GP, Block, District, State & Centre) ...... • Limitation of IT Infra • Periodicity & granularity of Data update & Sharing • Reverse BPR also in process where in data in soft copy is translated back to Hard Copy !

!!!
!!!

Way Forward • • Identify data sets which can re-used so that there is single source of truth …such as LGD for locational Data Identify data which can be shared with public ….. • Periodicity & granularity of Data to be defined till the end beneficiary • Mechanism to take feedback & do needful corrections on data quality.
• Identify data sets which needs to captured and generated else information may get lost in noise • Business Rules & workflows to reduce data duplicity and ownership for each data set • Visualization of Data …..

Structure decisions with unstructured data !

• Robust Infra to enable seamless data sharing • Lastly sharing and replication of best practices and IT tools across Govt LGD DISHA - MORD LGD History September 2007 launched MoPR National Panchayat Directory (NPD) April 2012 - MoPR re- launched the application as “Local Government Directory” - 2016 July Cabinet Secretariat issue direction to Union Ministries to use LGD the single application as standard window to update and manage unique codes of various administrative units.
Census is a decennial exercise and hence codes are not updated between two Census operations LGD provides an online system for continuous updation of entities and generation of their codes.
Hence, LGD has been taken as the standard platform for generating unique location codes which will be used by all eGovernance applications DISHA for LGD  DISHA initiative by MORD envisages to integrate 42 schemes of 22 Ministries gave an opportunity to ‘Ground Truth’ LGD Seeding, since the integration of 42 schemes on ONE STOP DISHA DASHBOARD hinges on LGD Framework NIC MORD 22 Ministries MORD PMU Team It gave DISHA to LGD & Ministries as well since for the 1st time the validation of LGD seeding in schemes MIS system and robustness of the LGD data was being tested.
NIC MOPR  Collating, Analyzing, Testing and liaising the gaps regarding the LGD seeding in 42 schemes MIS system & 700+ Districts, with the LGD data maintained by MoPR in a short span for few months was a no mean task States & Districts Revenue , RD, PRI , Urban, DEO, DIO LGD Update Process Flow LGD Update Process Learnings Awareness regarding process flow for data update  Who owns which data set  Identifying Nodal Officer Communication and process flow with Nodal Officers IT System under continuous upgrade Creating and sending user credentials to more 3000+ end users Concept of Freeze !
LGD Seeding Process Flow Strategy Technical Partner DISHA MoPR Short Term Long Term Add LGD Code DISHA Scheme Location Master Add / modify LGD Code Participating Ministry Ministry share Location Data Share findings Up to District Level Below District Level Add LGD Code Scheme Location Master DISHA LGD Team Analyse the Data Run AUTOLGDSeed Manual Seeding Run AUTOLGDSeed Manual Seeding LGDKM (LGD Knowledge Master) •Provide technical support for the updation, mismatch resolution, and validation of the geography masters •Seeding the LGD through APIs in other Ministries’ databases.)
•Capacity building •Coordination between MoPR and Ministries LGD Issues Multiple definitions of same entity such as Health Block is not same as Block in LGD No standard nomenclature of locational names across schemes Locational Data stored in multiple tables within Scheme itself Data Entry Gaps such as Village Name stored against Block Names Sometimes multiple entities in scheme refer to single entity in LGD In Scheme MIS itself, same entity has different spellings sometimes Clarity between Census Code & LGD Code Own codes generated for location created after 2011 LGD Data also dynamic in nature LGD Way Forward 100% validation of respective data sets by respective data owners with workflow Replicate good practices of other schemes such as NRDWP …..services to a location delivered only if that locational entity is available in LGD, else feedback loop for LGD gets validation/correction.
Enable re-use and sharing of data across schemes Standardization of locational entity names IT Infrastructure cross leverage and strengthening  Dynamic process for feedback, correction and integration of LGD with Schemes MIS through web services DISHA Team on LGD Seeding • AUTOLGDSeed* is in house developed tool to insert LGD code in Location Master.

• LGDKM* is a Knowledge master that will help to see the previous scheme Ambiguities and remedies used.

Thereby indentify and replicate best practices.
• Co-Ordinate with MoPR, States, Ministries in resolving the ambiguities related to LGD Codes • Supported LGD Team in Application testing, creating roll out strategy, user manuals and YouTube videos’s • Plans to create API’s & process flow for managing changes in LGD Codes s r u o H 250 200 150 100 50 0 P e r c e n t a g e 120 100 80 60 40 20 GIS Mapping DISHA - MORD GIS ….. “If I can visualize I can understand” – Albert Einstein ◦ Geo Tagging of Assets and mapping on GIS is powerful tool.
Example PMAY-G ◦ GIS with Geo Tagging can be leveraged to monitor saturation index ◦ NIC-GIS Mapping also rides on LGD, it leverages ArcGIS Technology ◦ DISHA Dashboard can create a powerful visualization by bringing convergence of scheme key performance indicators with GIS, geo tagged assets and saturation index.

◦ Leverage latest 3D-GIS Technology.
Just a Thought….. ◦ While convergence of schemes are in process, similarly can there be convergence of technology initiatives as well .. Ex : Digisevak, data.gov.in, CSC, RAS, PMIS and many others ◦ Can Google Maps experiment be replicated, wherein based on real time citizen feedback there is a continuous auto data correction process ◦ LGD is probably the 1st step towards cross implementation of data standardization, this can also be the best time to experiment block chain technology for LGD “If I can visualize I can understand” – Albert Einstein
