2 years after launch, CM’s data dashboard goes offline

In 2017, Karnataka became the second state after Andhra Pradesh to have a public data dashboard showing progress of various government programmes and projects.

Now, the Pratibimba dashboard has been quietly taken down by the BS Yediyurappa administration.

Pratibimba was a web-based dashboard that showed progress achieved under various government programmes — physical and financial — against targets and deadlines. It was modeled after Andhra Pradesh’s CM Office Real-Time Executive (CORE) dashboard.

The dashboard, launched when Congress’ Siddaramaiah was the chief minister, generated reports and measured performance on key programmes and budgetary promises. This, authorities said, made departments more accountable and efficient.
