We had earlier written about Gatishakti, a novel initiative by the Govt. Of India that's bringing together sixteen ministries and seven core infrastructure sectors on one tech platform.
Now that the platform is on the verge of becoming self aware being implemented, we thought a revisit was called for.
One Platform, Many Benefits
- Easy connectivity: Since there are many government departmental stores, storage facilities spread across different locations, accessibility becomes a problem. Gatishakti will enable people, services and goods to move more efficiently and easily.
- Save money: The interconnection of railways and roadways with other departments will make the process less annoying and more cost efficient, helping the government save truckloads of money.
- The future is now: Per this report, the Gatishakti program will review policies over the next few years, aiming to bring much needed reforms in the planning and implementation stage right up to the state level. As a result, this will also bring more engagement from the Centre.
Word on the Street
🎙 The Gatishakti masterplan looks to reduce logistical costs to 8% of GDP from the current 14%, which will help the exchequer save about INR 20 lakh crore – Piyush Goyal, Commerce and Industry Minister.
Also, better connectivity, seamless inter-departmental coordination, and digital workflows could re-shape the real estate sector overall, feel experts.
