MoPSW ranked 2nd in the Survey Report on Data Governance Quality Index: Key Points

The DGQI survey is conducted by the Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office (DMEO), Niti Aayog, with the intention of measuring the maturity level of administrative data systems used in decision-making processes by various Ministries and Departments for the implementation of Central Sector Schemes (CS) and Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS).

This survey also identifies reforms needed to achieve seamless data exchange and its synergistic use within the Ministry, while setting out clear pathways to achieve these goals.
The DGQI assessment comprises six critical themes, including Data Generation, Data Quality, Use of Technology, Data Analysis, Use and Dissemination, Data Security and HR Capacity, and Case Studies.
MoPSW worked tirelessly to achieve its success in the DGQI assessment.
The National Technology Centre for Ports, Waterways, and Coasts at IIT Madras has played a crucial role in this success, as it was tasked with improving MoPSW’s Management Information System (MIS) in compliance with DGQI standards.
The NTCPWC, developed under Sagarmala by MoPSW, serves as a technology arm of the Ministry.
The DGQI has assessed the MIS portals for five schemes of MoPSW – Sagarmala, Research and Development, Shipping, ALHW, IWAI & IWT – to enhance data flow, increase data quality, and incorporate emerging technologies such as AI/ML.
