KADA: One Government Dashboard for the Zero Poverty Plan, From Household Census to Waste Trucks

The problem

The Kuppam Area Development Authority is responsible for the region's Zero Poverty by 2029 vision. The work runs through dozens of line departments, each with its own reporting line. Leadership had no consolidated view of KPIs, field data arrived late and unverified, and there was no structured way to run approvals and timelines across departments.

KADA needed a government dashboard for its leadership, fed by data collected in the field rather than reported after the fact.

What we learned

We put every module on the same map of wards and mandals from the start. Census answers, KPIs and truck routes then roll up the same way, so no department's numbers need translating before leadership can compare them.
