    How CHETRA connects

    Nothing here is a new register. CHETRA is being built to read from the systems a department already has and to sit on top of the government's own data and interoperability standards, not beside them or instead of them.

    The four rails

    ABDM

    Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission

    In development

    CHETRA is being built to the same FHIR standard the National Health Authority uses for its Health Facility Registry.

    What CHETRA reads
    Facility identity, type and location for government hospitals, in the government's own health data format.
    What it means for a department
    A hospital is identified the same way in CHETRA as it already is in the national registry, so there is one institution, not two records of it.

    UDISE+ and open school data

    National school reporting and open data

    In development

    The same enrolment, staffing and infrastructure data India already reports every year, published under the government's own open data license.

    What CHETRA reads
    Enrolment, teacher posts and sanctioned strength, classrooms, toilets, water, power and connectivity.
    What it means for a department
    The baseline for every school is the figure the department itself already reported, so nobody argues about the starting number.

    State school and health systems

    Departmental MIS platforms

    In development

    Built to connect where a state already runs its own school or hospital MIS, not to sit apart from it.

    What CHETRA reads
    Whatever the state system already holds: attendance, postings, stock, works and sanction status.
    What it means for a department
    Staff carry on using the system they know. CHETRA reads it, and nobody enters anything twice.

    Public financial data

    Sanctioned and released funds

    In development

    The same sanctioned and released fund data already tracked through India's public financial systems.

    What CHETRA reads
    Sanctioned amount, released amount and utilisation, per scheme and per institution.
    What it means for a department
    The condition view and the money view sit on one page, so a priority list can be costed the moment it is produced.

    Schools

    CHETRA is designed to draw on the same data already collected through UDISE+, the national school data system every institution reports into each year, and through the open data India already publishes on government schools. Where a state runs its own school data system, CHETRA is built to connect to that system directly rather than ask a department to enter data twice.

    Hospitals

    CHETRA is designed around the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, the government's own health data standard, using the same Health Facility Registry that already lists government hospitals and the same FHIR based format the National Health Authority uses for health records. Where a state runs its own hospital data system, CHETRA is built to connect there too.

    Money

    Sanctioned and released fund data already exists in India's public financial systems. CHETRA is designed to read that data rather than ask a department to reenter its own budget.

    Why this matters

    A department does not need new hardware, a new register, or a new habit for its staff. CHETRA is built to sit on top of what already exists and join it into one record, per institution.

    The scoring that sits on top of this data is published in full on the method page, and the national picture it is measured against is set out in the evidence brief.

    What the joined record looks like

    One school, one record

    Today

    Enrolment sits in the national school data return, teacher posting sits with the district education office, and the state of the building sits in an inspection file nobody has opened this year.

    With CHETRA

    CHETRA joins the three into one institution record and scores it, so a Block Education Officer can see what is short and how far the school is from standard.

    One hospital, one view

    Today

    The registry says the hospital exists, the stock register says what is on the shelf, and the finance file says what was released. Three systems, three owners, no single answer.

    With CHETRA

    A District Health Officer reads facility, stock and funds together, and can say which hospital needs attention first and what it will cost.

    See the priority ranking

    One district, one list

    Today

    The works list and the budget list are made separately, so the most urgent institution and the funded institution are often not the same one.

    With CHETRA

    The priority list and the allocation run off the same record, and every completion is signed off against evidence rather than a claim.

    What a department needs to do

    • No new hardware.
    • No new register.
    • No new habit for the staff.
    • No second data entry.

    Common questions

    Does CHETRA replace the system our department already runs?
    No. CHETRA is designed to read from the systems a department already has and join them into one record per institution. The existing system stays where it is.
    Will our staff have to enter data twice?
    No. Where a state already runs its own school or hospital data system, CHETRA is built to connect to that system rather than ask anyone to reenter what has already been entered.
    Which standards is CHETRA built to?
    On the health side, the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and the FHIR based format the National Health Authority uses for its Health Facility Registry. On the school side, the same UDISE+ reporting and open data India already publishes. On money, the sanctioned and released fund data public financial systems already track.

    Tell us what your department already runs and we will show how CHETRA is built to read it.

    Some of these connections are live in this demonstration on simulated data. Others are being built. We will say which is which, on every page, until all of it is true.
