G.O.Ms.No.38, Nomination of Tamil Nadu Government Representative for the National Data and Analytics Platform Project, 2020

What the government order does

G.O.Ms.No.38, issued by the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SP.2) Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu on 23 June 2020, changes Tamil Nadu's representative on a national committee connected with the National Data and Analytics Platform Project of NITI Aayog.

The National Data and Analytics Platform is intended to serve as a single source for accessing all published government data. NITI Aayog proposed a High Powered Inter Ministerial Steering Committee to provide oversight and facilitation support for the platform. The committee is to be chaired by the Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog.

Change in Tamil Nadu's representative

G.O.Ms.No.38 makes the following administrative change:

• The Additional Chief Secretary to Government of Tamil Nadu, Information Technology Department, is nominated as the Member Representative for Tamil Nadu.
• The representative will serve on the High Powered Inter Ministerial Steering Committee for the National Data and Analytics Platform Project.
• The nomination replaces the earlier nomination under G.O.Ms.No.29, issued by the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SP.2) Department on 18 May 2020.
• The earlier nominated representative was the Commissioner of e-Governance and Chief Executive Officer of the Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency.

Who is affected

G.O.Ms.No.38 directly concerns the Government of Tamil Nadu officers and institutions involved in Tamil Nadu's participation in the National Data and Analytics Platform Project. It also concerns NITI Aayog, which requested the nomination of an officer from Tamil Nadu to the committee.

Property buyers, owners, developers and land professionals are not assigned any duty under G.O.Ms.No.38. The document contains no provision about land classification, ownership, transfer, registration, planning permission, revenue records or development controls.

Practical significance for land matters

G.O.Ms.No.38 is an administrative nomination rather than a land or revenue decision. Although the National Data and Analytics Platform is intended to provide access to published government data, the document does not identify particular land datasets, establish access procedures or change the legal status of any government data. It therefore does not itself affect a parcel of land or determine any property right.
