Gujarat govt to switch over to digital Integrated Statistical System

Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat

Gujarat Government has initiated the process of switching over from manual statistical data management to the digital GISS (Gujarat Integrated Statistical System) under the GSSSP (Gujarat State Strategic Statistical Plan) in next few months. Directorate of Economics & Statistics (DES) has initiated the process adopting state wide digital data generation and management system across the state.

At present there is no integration of activities under one Single platform. The manual system takes lot of time for processing and periodic reports are created using MS office. Records are also maintained on paper or by major use of MS Office. Data is not entered at the data generation point due to which, the qualitative data is a big challenge. There are approximately 190 types of formats used for data collection, which in turn increase duplication of work. Data collection procedure is manual due to which it is time taking.

Around Rs.50 crore said project will help in providing on demand statistical, analytical and predictive information that can be used by the Planning Department, Other Departments of the State & Central Governments, Research Institutes, academicians & Citizens at large. Such information will be provided through well organized standard reports or such other electronic formats and will be provide through a dedicated Web Portal. In addition, the data collected will be formatted, organized and archived to facilitate data warehouse and data mining activities in future.

GISS features are aimed at bringing about an improvement of statistical quality in the form of ensuring accessibility including timeliness; serviceability; accuracy and reliability; methodological soundness and assurance of integrity.
