- The DMEO, Niti Aayog has undertaken Data Governance Quality Index DGQI exercise: Self-assessment based review of data preparedness levels across Ministries / Departments to produce a DGQI scorecard.
- Objective: Accordingly a survey was initiated with the objective of assessing data preparedness of Ministries / Departments on a standardized framework to drive healthy competition among them and promote cooperative peer learning from best practices.
- In this survey, an online questionnaire was prepared under six major themes of DGQI: Data Generation; Data Quality; Use of Technology; Data Analysis, Use and Dissemination; Data Security and HR Capacity and Case Studies.
- Weightages were assigned to the themes and sub-weightages to each question within every theme to arrive at final DGQI scores ranging between 0 to 5 for every scheme.

- Administrative,
- Strategic,
- Infrastructure,
