After a long wait , this suggestion seems to be on the verge
of “ acceptance “
Suggestion :
Ø Getting
all Infrastructure Projects Status updated in real time
Ø Enabling
“ Distributed Updating “ of Project Status by different Ministries / Agencies
Ø Allowing
all citizen to view latest status of any project, online on a Govt website
What tells you this might happen ?
Following news report in today’s Business Line ( 11 Aug
2020 ) :
Extract :
Ø The online dashboard will be a one-stop solution for all
stakeholders looking for information on infrastructure projects in India. The dashboard is being hosted on the India Investment Grid (IIG)
Ø Speaking at the event, Sitharaman said, “NIP
will provide a boost to the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat. The availability
of NIP projects on IIG will ensure easy accessibility to updated project
information and attract investors for PPP projects. This is a great step in the
direction of implementing NIP — giving a fillip to infrastructure development
in the country”.
Ø She asked all concerned department/ministries to immediately update the status of projects on NIP portal and
keep it updated in real time.
Sitharaman has also asked all
concerned department/ministries to
show concrete
progress in terms of project and reforms implementation.
======================================================
Why do
you say, “ might happen “ ?
I just searched following
government websites but could not find any LINK that shows me, a GANTT chart /
PERT chart / ACTIVITY Time-Line chart etc for any project !
Now , if you enter ( in
the search-bar ),
“ Dashboard
“ ,
this is what you will find :
Sorry we couldn't find any matches for 'Dashboard'
How about trying to search for “ NIP Portal “ ?
Sure , you will find :
6835
results found for 'NIP Portal'
What was your suggestion ?
Ø Remembering
Admiral Rickover ! …………………………………………..[ 04 June 2017 ]
Extract :
My
suggestions :
·
When any Ministry submits any Project Proposal for Cabinet
approval , it must be accompanied by a PERT (
Program Evaluation and Review Technique ) chart , clearly showing all the
" Activities " lying along the CRITICAL
PATH
( earlier known as the CRITICAL PATH METHOD )
Ø
That PERT
Chart must accompany a tabulation showing , for each " Activity
",
# Pessimistic Time
# Optimistic
Time , and the
# Most likely Time
Ø
Since Admiral Rickover , introduced this mandatory requirement
for awarding tender to build the first nuclear submarine, some 50 years
ago , all US government departments follow this procedure for all govt
contracts
·
Insist that all the government departments / contractors,
responsible for execution of any of these "activities", update
the PERT chart status online on the web site of the Project Monitoring Group
·
PERT charts for all the projects should be made visible to the general public
·
If there is any " slippage " in any activity lying on
the CRITICAL PATH , the name of the department or contractor responsible ,
must appear in bold RED letters , against that activity
Ø
This is the only INNOVATION that we need , to ensure that the
projects get completed in time and within budget
======================================================
Did you follow-up on your suggestion ?
PERT
for Digital Dashboard ………………………………………………………………………[ 27 Feb 2018 ]
Earlier ( on 07 May 2016 ) , I sent following E Mail to
NITI Aayog :
Dear Sir :
Economic
Times ( 05 May ) talks about a PMO letter to NITI Aayog , as follows :
" NITI Aayog is requested to
undertake monthly monitoring of the
implementation of decisions taken, create a
dashboard for constant Monitoring, Evaluation and Review, and fix up
outcome targets for all major schemes of infrastructure and social sectors for
FY2016-17 and submit them to PMO by May 21, 2016 "
As you would have
noticed in my earlier suggestion , the best results would be achieved , when
department / ministry proposing the project is , itself
made responsible for :
# Preparing
a comprehensive list of Project Activities and their " sequences " (
parallel or
consequential )
# Estimating " Time
" , each activity will take to complete
# Defining ( by name /
designation / mobile number / email ID ) , those responsible for
each activity
# Uploading all of these DATA , in the PERT INPUT page on web site of NITI
Aayog
# Updating the
PERT CHART on daily basis
Entire idea is to put the ball in the
court of these departments / ministries !
If created / maintained by NITI Aayog , the chart ( Dashboard ) would become an instrument of
endless arguments !
