CSM Technologies wins Nexus of Good Award 2026 for Odisha’s Go-SUGAM platform

New Delhi: CSM Technologies Limited, a leading GovTech solutions provider, has received the Nexus of Good Award 2026 for implementing GO-SUGAM (Single Window Unified Gateway for Agrarian Management), the Government of Odisha’s digital platform for agricultural and allied sector schemes.

The award recognises its contribution to simplifying access to government benefits, improving transparency and strengthening service delivery.

Priyadarshi Pany, Managing Director and CEO of CSM Technologies, received the award in New Delhi. The Nexus of Good Foundation presents the award to initiatives promoting effective governance and social impact.

The selection jury was headed by Deepak Gupta, former Chairman of UPSC, while Raj Bhargava, former Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh and former Union Home Secretary, presented the award.

Implemented by CSM Technologies for the Government of Odisha, GO-SUGAM has been operational since May 2022. It enables farmers, fishers, livestock rearers and agripreneurs to discover schemes, check eligibility, apply for benefits and track applications through verification, approval and subsidy disbursement.

Integrated with Krushak Odisha, the state’s farmer registry, the platform supports authenticated beneficiary profiles across schemes, reducing repetitive data entry.

Multi-level scrutiny and field verification are recorded against a common application record. Following approval, an electronically signed Go-Ahead sanction letter is issued, and subsidy payments are facilitated through government treasury systems and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Real-time tracking, SMS and email alerts, sanction letters and scheme-wise dashboards help beneficiaries follow applications and officials monitor pendency, approvals and payments. Available through a web portal and mobile application, GO-SUGAM also supports assisted access through service kendras and block offices.

The platform serves Odisha’s Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment and Department of Fisheries and Animal Resource Development. Six directorates covering agriculture, horticulture, soil conservation, fisheries, animal husbandry and APICOL use the system. Integrations with land records, e-Sign, Odisha Rights to Public Services Act (ORTPS), Service Plus and IFMS/PFMS connect key administrative processes.

During FY 2025–26, Go-SUGAM processed over 3.6 lakh applications, facilitated subsidy releases exceeding ₹620 crore and recorded more than 1.1 lakh Go-Aheads across the two departments.

The Department of Fisheries and Animal Resource Development received around 1.8 lakh applications across more than 45 schemes covering poultry, small animals, dairy, Mukhyamantri Krushi Udyog Yojana (MMKY) and PMMSY. The platform recorded over 63,000 Go-Aheads and subsidy releases exceeding ₹260 crore.

The Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment received around 1.8 lakh applications across 14 schemes spanning agriculture, horticulture and soil conservation. More than 46,000 Go-Aheads were issued, with subsidy releases exceeding ₹360 crore.

Commenting on the recognition, Priyadarshi Pany, Managing Director and CEO of CSM Technologies, said, “Digital governance delivers real value when citizens can track their applications and governments can identify delays in benefit delivery. GO-SUGAM connects scheme access, verification, sanction and subsidy disbursement through one digital platform. This recognition celebrates our partnership with the Government of Odisha and our shared commitment to making technology work for farmers and the wider agrarian community.”

The award underscores CSM Technologies’ focus on building citizen-centric digital platforms that translate technology into public value through more accessible services, greater transparency and improved administrative accountability.
