article/opinion/columns/ digitising-the-state-6496692/ - In the intro, mention the reforms in the data system could give us the “single source of truth”.
- In the body, as issues mention the data silos, lack of data sharing protocol, incompatibility of data of various state under the same head, obscurity, misclassification etc.Measures for improvement could be a common data standard for all entities receiving government funds, a single searchable website to ascertain the total government funding, end to end data capturing, suitable data governance and technology architecture etc.
- Conclude by mention how this reform could provide assurance that each rupee due to the government has been collected, and each rupee has been spent for the purpose it was allocated.

Hi Taran
Do not write the solution in the introduction.
India is having many states- is not the issue, manual work in the data system is the probelm.
Some good points in the solution, but add more like need of DGA (Data Governance Authority) and also mention DATA (Digital Accountability and Transparency Act).
Work on content and try to update your content with current affairs.
Rephrase your conclusion.
Work on sentence formation.
Work hard,you will succeed.
