Speaking at a governance and technology conference organised by the Bharti Institute of Public Policy of the Indian School of Business in Mohali, Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu emphasized the need for state government agencies to work together efficiently by accessing real-time data to better serve the public.
The CM launched the ‘Him Data Portal,’ a common digital platform that integrates the data of all organisations to improve the delivery of welfare schemes and services.
As part of the upcoming ‘Him Parivar’ project, the Himachal Pradesh government will provide a special digital identity to the people of the state from July 2023, Sukhu announced. The initiative aims to strengthen the state’s benefit delivery systems through ‘Him Pulse,’ which will link digital identity to the delivery of benefits for the targeted population.
Furthermore, Sukhu stated that the Him Parivar Project would provide easy access to information about essential facilities such as ration cards, family registers, electricity, drinking water, and more. People associated with the Him Pariyojna project will also have easy access to information about various welfare schemes, he added.
