Background :

The NITI for States (NFS) portal and the Viksit Bharat Strategy Room (VBSR) were both formally launched in March 2024. At the time of launch, there were approximately 7000 best practices, 5000 policies, and 989 datasets on the NFS Portal. The VBSR was launched with 5 sectors - ADP / ABP, Agriculture, Energy, Tourism and Skilling.

Over one year, the NFS Portal has been made richer through :

• The identification of 900+ new Best Practices and Policy documents for upload to the NFS Portal through desk research, including new and updated good governance compendiums, prize-winning entries to DARPG PM Awards and other sources.
• 450+ contributions received from State Users to the NFS Portal, pending publication following review
• Developing and uploading 91 sector-at-a-glance and 53 policy-at-a-glance insight documents with the support of Knowledge Partners
• 350+ Datasets have been added ; Data profiles have been updated thrice (quarterly); 10 datasets have been identified to be added to the data explorer

Similarly, the Viksit Bharat Strategy Room has grown from 5 sectors at the time of launch to 15 new sectors with additional focus areas and indicator drill-downs added and constant updation and improvement in content :

Since the launch, Use Cases have been added as a prominent new feature on both the NFS Portal and VBSR. They are intended to further the objective of data-driven governance at the district and block level through the development of solutions to social development issues using data analysis.

The NFS Use Case Challenge was launched nationwide in December 2024 seeking use case submissions from district and block-level officers. Use Cases are expected to drive user adoption and engagement with the knowledge resources available on the NFS Portal. To support this, the following activities were undertaken and completed :

To drive this activity further, we are looking for sectoral experts to guide us through the process and help us scale the activity across the country.
