New Delhi, Oct 13 (UNI) Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal today launched a series of transformative initiatives by the Logistics Division marking four years of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (NMP), an official statement said.
The launches include the Knowledge Management System (KMS), Decentralized Data Uploading and Management System (DUMS), PMGS NMP Dashboard as part of the Comprehensive Multi-Sector Reporting System and PM GatiShakti Compendium Volume-3.
“The Government had developed and launched the PM GatiShakti District Master Plans (PMGS-DMP) for 28 Aspirational Districts in October 2024. The plans facilitate geospatial-based planning for critical social and economic infrastructure such as schools, health centres, anganwadis, roads, and water pipelines using the PM GatiShakti platform,” the Minister said while launching the initiatives here.
“To enable effective planning, five sector-specific tools were developed for schools, health centres, anganwadis, roads, and water pipelines. Comprehensive capacity-building training for district teams was conducted at BISAG-N, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, in December 2024, followed by regular regional workshops and online sessions for officers across districts and States.” Minister added.
The Minister also noted that districts have already begun developing practical use cases for area development, including road widening projects such as the Damoh–Jabalpur road from two to four lanes, solar park site selection in Damoh, and administrative boundary planning.
He also highlighted drinking water provision under the Jal Jeevan Mission, electrification of unelectrified villages, road connectivity for unconnected habitations and watershed management planning in Baran district.
Based on these successes, the PM GatiShakti District Master Plan is now being progressively rolled out across all 112 Aspirational Districts.
It aims to enable data-driven, integrated planning for social and economic infrastructure development nationwide.
Goyal noted that over the past four years, numerous Ministries and States have undertaken innovative measures, developed digital tools, and created use cases demonstrating how geospatial planning can be leveraged to improve infrastructure development and decision-making.
The Knowledge Management System (KMS) serves as a centralized repository of digital tools, use cases, SOPs, compendiums, and training resources, promoting replicability, scalability, and cross-learning across Ministries, Departments and States/UTs.
Moreover, at the core of KMS, there is an integrated NMP dashboard offering real-time insights into onboarded data layers, registered users, and planned projects.
It will also report issues through the Issue Management System, forming the basis of the Comprehensive Multi-Sector Reporting System.
Complementing this, the Decentralized Data Uploading and Management System ensures accurate, uniform, and accountable data management through a three-stage workflow.
First is the data upload by designated managers, review by nodal officers, and final publication by BISAG-N, enhancing transparency, operational efficiency, and multi-sectoral coordination.
With these new initiatives, PM GatiShakti continues to set new benchmarks in integrated infrastructure planning, data-driven governance, and inclusive development. It also reinforces India’s vision of modern, connected and resilient nation.
