stylish_lining

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) is strengthening the monitoring and evaluation of Central Sector infrastructure projects through the PAIMANA platform, aimed at improving transparency, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making.

About PAIMANA Portal

PAIMANA (Project Assessment, Infrastructure Monitoring & Analytics for Nation-building) is a flagship initiative of MoSPI. It serves as a centralised national repository of infrastructure projects, facilitating effective monitoring, analytical reporting, and better coordination among various stakeholders involved in project implementation.

The platform enhances data accuracy, operational efficiency, and evidence-based policy interventions through digital monitoring mechanisms.

Integration with Other Platforms

The PAIMANA portal is integrated with the Integrated Project Monitoring Portal (IPMP/IIG-PMG) of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). This integration enables seamless exchange of project-related information and strengthens inter-ministerial coordination.

Key Features

Centralized Project Monitoring

PAIMANA functions as a single-window project monitoring system, allowing ministries, departments, and implementing agencies to upload, track, and review infrastructure project data through a unified digital interface.

Real-Time Dashboards

The portal provides real-time dashboards with drill-down capabilities, enabling users to monitor project progress across different sectors, states, ministries, and timelines. This helps in identifying implementation bottlenecks and ensuring timely completion of projects.

Advanced Data Analytics

The platform incorporates advanced analytics and reporting tools, including interactive dashboards, query modules, role-based user access, and review mechanisms for identifying data gaps and improving the quality of project information. These features support data-driven governance and informed decision-making.

Scope of Monitoring

PAIMANA is mandated to monitor Central Sector Infrastructure Projects costing ₹150 crore and above. The portal thus plays a critical role in tracking large public investments and ensuring effective implementation of nationally significant infrastructure projects.

Significance

The PAIMANA portal strengthens digital governance in infrastructure management by improving transparency, accountability, and coordination among implementing agencies. It also supports timely policy interventions, efficient resource utilisation, and better monitoring of high-value public projects, contributing to the country's infrastructure development and nation-building efforts
