A structured capability offering to deploy open-source Digital Public Infrastructure across Meghalaya's government departments — bridging the gap between the state's development agenda and proven technology platforms to transform service delivery for 3.5 million citizens.
Programme Overview
The Meghalaya Digital Governance Initiative is Impact's flagship programme — a structured, phased deployment of EkStep's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) ecosystem across the state's most critical budget priorities for FY 2026-27.
Rather than building proprietary technology from scratch, Impact integrates battle-tested open-source platforms — Sunbird, DIGIT, DIVOC, OpenAgriNet, and Bhashini — that already serve hundreds of millions of Indians. Meghalaya gets proven infrastructure at a fraction of the cost and timeline of custom development.
The programme aligns with Meghalaya's flagship ELEVATE initiative, the Skills Mission, the state's agriculture transformation agenda, and health and governance modernisation goals — with every solution mapped to a specific budget line and department priority.
Meghalaya's FY 2026-27 state budget — the largest in state history. Impact maps its DPI solutions to every major expenditure category across 10 flagship programmes.
Dedicated Sustainable Development Goals allocation — Impact's governance dashboard tracks every rupee in real time, publishable to citizens and civil society.
Impact by Konzult bridges the gap between Meghalaya's governance priorities and proven Digital Public Infrastructure — combining DPI expertise, technology delivery, and capacity building to accelerate outcomes across government departments.
Macro-Economic Landscape
Understanding Meghalaya's economic baseline is critical to designing the right interventions at the right scale.
Meghalaya's economy is primarily agrarian, with agriculture contributing roughly 21–22% of GDP and supporting over 80% of the population, while the service sector contributes about 61% of the economy.
Despite strong natural resources and biodiversity, the state remains under-industrialised due to infrastructure limitations and logistics constraints — creating a significant opportunity for targeted industrial policy.
The state has recently demonstrated ~10% annual economic growth, indicating strong development potential and readiness for ambitious industrialisation programmes like the Pharma Hub initiative.
Key Focus Areas
Every focus area is underpinned by proven DPI platforms and mapped to a specific budget programme in Meghalaya's FY 2026-27 allocation.
Establishing a robust, Aadhaar-linked digital identity layer for every citizen — enabling seamless access to government schemes, subsidies, and services without paper-based friction.
Connecting Meghalaya's 12 district hospitals through ABDM-linked health records and the 10BedICU platform — bringing specialist-grade care to every district while creating a lifelong health record for every citizen.
End-to-end digitisation of Meghalaya's social welfare delivery — from scheme eligibility to DBT disbursement — eliminating leakage and ensuring every entitled citizen receives their benefit on time.
Connecting Meghalaya's unbanked population — particularly in rural and tribal areas — to formal credit, insurance, and savings through the OpenAgriNet and ONEST financial inclusion stack.
Implementation Roadmap
A four-phase rollout designed around Meghalaya's budget cycle, the National Games 2027 deadline, and the practical constraints of deploying across 12 diverse districts.
Establish the technical foundation and government partnerships. Deploy identity layer, onboard key departments, and begin CM-ELEVATE digital enrollment.
Deploy 10BedICU across all district hospitals. Launch the CM Skills Mission platform on Sunbird. Begin OpenAgriNet farmer enrollment across Ri-Bhoi and East Khasi Hills first.
Scale all platforms to all 12 districts. Enable data flows between health, education, agriculture, and governance layers. Launch public SDG budget dashboard.
Use the 2027 National Games as a platform showcase moment. Deliver post-implementation reviews, hand over operational ownership to state IT teams, and publish citizen impact reports.
Meghalaya's FY 2026-27 budget is the largest in state history and is already in Q1. Vendor evaluation windows are short. Departments that don't have implementation partners by May 2026 risk significant budget underutilisation. The time to engage is now.
Expected Outcomes
Projected outcomes across all programmes by end of FY 2027-28, based on comparable DPI deployments in other Indian states.

Industrial Vision
Developing Meghalaya as the first pharmaceutical manufacturing hub in Northeast India, inspired by Himachal Pradesh's Baddi–Solan cluster.
Develop Meghalaya as the first pharmaceutical manufacturing hub in Northeast India, inspired by Himachal Pradesh's Baddi–Solan cluster, which hosts 600+ pharma units and produces ~35% of India's pharma formulations.
India's pharma market is $50–60B and expected to reach $120B+ by 2030, creating demand for new manufacturing clusters. Meghalaya can leverage its strategic location near Bangladesh and ASEAN markets and lower land costs.
Launch a dedicated Pharma Industrial Policy with tax incentives, capital subsidies, and single-window approvals to attract pharmaceutical manufacturers to the state.
Develop a purpose-built Pharma Industrial Park with manufacturing units, testing labs, and logistics facilities to provide ready-to-operate infrastructure.
Attract 3–5 anchor pharma companies to build the ecosystem, creating a critical mass that draws suppliers, talent, and supporting industries.
