Abstract : The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) is responsible for planning, policy, and coordination of program for the development and empowerment of India’s Scheduled Tribe communities. The Ministry designed an interactive, dynamic, and comprehensive online Performance Dashboard that provides updated and real-time data and status of 16 different tribal development initiatives from 31 Indian States and Union Territories and the Public Financial Management System [PFMS] data from 38 ministries. This was achieved by revamping existing portals and the development of new scheme-specific portals with the objective that the data generated is useful, not only in the course of their program implementation, but also in the data exchange across ministries. MoTA was an early adopter among ministries in the move to realize Digital India goals as it moved toward a data-driven governance model to achieve digital inclusion, financial inclusion, productivity improvement, and social impact. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
