The Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (ST2&E) Department issued G.O.(Ms).No.91 on 5 November 2015, constituting a Steering Committee to supervise the Data Analytics Unit in the Department of Economics and Statistics.

What the government order does
G.O.(Ms).No.91 of the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (ST2&E) Department establishes the oversight structure for a government Data Analytics Unit. The unit is located in the Department of Economics and Statistics and operates in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency.
The Data Analytics Unit is intended to analyse, in real time, the large volume of data available with the Government. The stated purpose is to improve policy making and service delivery. The government accepted the proposal of the Principal Secretary and Commissioner of the Department of Economics and Statistics to create a Steering Committee for the unit.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee supervises and guides the Cell or Data Analytics Unit. Its responsibilities and membership are:

- The Principal Secretary to Government, Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Department, serves as Chairperson.

Who it affects
G.O.(Ms).No.91 primarily concerns the Department of Economics and Statistics, the Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency, the Information Technology Department and government departments participating in data analytics projects. Secretaries of line departments become members of the Steering Committee when projects are undertaken in their departments.
The government order does not contain provisions about land ownership, property registration, land classification, planning permission, transfer of land or revenue records. It therefore does not impose any stated requirement on a property buyer or owner. Its relevance is administrative, concerning how government data analytics proposals are approved, supervised and monitored.
Financial concurrence
G.O.(Ms).No.91 records that concurrence from the Finance Department was not required. The source cites G.O.Ms.No.519/Salaries/1997, dated 29 September 1997, for that position.
