Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has launched the Odisha Project Monitoring Dashboard, a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based digital platform aimed at streamlining infrastructure project oversight and execution across the state.

Unveiled on Wednesday by the Works Department, the dashboard allows real-time monitoring of ongoing projects, offering detailed insights at the district and block levels. It features satellite mapping, financial tracking, live updates, performance metrics, and early risk alerts to support accurate decision-making and resource allocation.

Majhi stated the platform will enhance transparency and improve financial accountability, helping ensure that infrastructure projects are delivered efficiently and on time.

The dashboard currently covers major public assets and infrastructure works, and the state government plans to expand its scope to include other departments in future phases.

Officials highlighted the platform’s role in improving coordination among departments and simplifying the reporting process. This initiative aligns with Odisha’s broader goal of fostering a transparent, data-driven governance model for sustainable infrastructure growth.
