Aiming to harness data for effective decision-making, the Tamil Nadu government has formulated the Tamil Nadu Data Policy, 2022.
It is expected to support policy-making, improve implementation of schemes, encourage value-added services, improve access to and quality of services.
A State-level empowered data governance committee, headed by the Chief Secretary, would provide strategic guidance for the data policy framework.
A data inter-departmental committee, headed by the Chief Executive Officer of Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency (TNeGA), would make the operational-level decisions emanating from the policy.
The CEO of the TNeGA would be the State’s Chief Data Officer.
