Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed federal ministries and departments to complete the digitisation of their data and records. He emphasized that the government must accelerate digital transformation to improve efficiency, transparency and public service delivery.
The prime minister issued the directions while reviewing progress on the government’s national digital vision. He stressed the need for ministries to move away from traditional systems and adopt integrated digital platforms.
Government Pushes Nationwide Data Digitisation
Shehbaz Sharif directed relevant authorities to ensure that government data becomes accessible through secure and modern digital systems. He also called for stronger coordination between institutions to prevent duplication and improve the use of public information.
The government aims to establish an integrated system that allows institutions to share data efficiently. Consequently, citizens could access multiple public services through simplified digital processes instead of repeatedly submitting information.
The prime minister has previously emphasized the importance of a centralized national data centre for government institutions. Officials have said the system can eliminate separate data centres and reduce unnecessary expenditure while improving data management.
PM Stresses Faster Digital Governance
Furthermore, the government is working to expand digital services across key sectors, including health, agriculture, utilities, housing and small businesses. The national digital vision also seeks to introduce a single digital identity that can support access to various public services.
Shehbaz Sharif has instructed ministries to ensure timely implementation of digital initiatives and strengthen institutional capacity. Meanwhile, authorities are developing systems to monitor government directives and track their implementation through artificial intelligence.
The latest directive reflects the government’s broader efforts to modernise public administration through technology. As a result, officials expect greater efficiency, improved coordination and easier access to government services.
The prime minister has urged all institutions to treat digital transformation as a priority and complete the required work without unnecessary delays.
