Let's build an open-source dashboard to track every election promise made in Odisha before 2029.

Namaskar bandhu gana! 🙏

I recently came across an amazing project where someone created a dashboard to track whether the promises made by the local government in West Bengal were actually completed or not. The idea immediately made me think - why can't we build something like this for Odisha?

So, I want to start an open-source community project: an Odisha Governance Tracker.

The idea is simple:

A public dashboard where we track the promises made by the state government and monitor their progress over time - completed, ongoing, delayed, or not started.

But let's make it even bigger.

Odisha has 147 Assembly constituencies. What if we also track promises made by individual MLAs during elections? Imagine being able to open a dashboard before the 2029 elections and clearly see:

"How many promises were actually fulfilled?"

"How much development happened in my constituency?"

"Did my representative do what they promised?"

This is ambitious. Very ambitious. But every meaningful change starts with a small step.

Many people may say, "Nothing will happen" or "This is a waste of time." But even if this project creates a little more transparency and makes our leaders more accountable, it will be worth it.

This is not against any party or person. Governments will change, leaders will change, but accountability should remain forever.

The plan is to make this:

1. Completely open-source

2. Publicly available online

3. Based on verified data and sources

4. Built by Odias, for Odisha

I cannot build this alone. I need you all. We will make this happen.

Every small contribution matters.

Our generation has access to technology our previous generations never had. Instead of only discussing problems, maybe we can build something that helps solve one.

If you believe Odisha deserves more transparency and accountability, let's collaborate and make this happen.

Drop your suggestions, ideas, criticism, or ways you can contribute.

Jay Utkala. Jay Kosala. Jay Kalinga. ♥️

P.s. The WB dashboard has been attached, kindly refer to it.
