In a major step towards digital transformation and inclusive governance, Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai of the Government of Chhattisgarh officially launched the Hostel Management System (HMS) MIS Portal and initiated the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism for hostels and ashrams serving tribal students on 10th June 2025. The event was held in the esteemed presence of Shri Ramvichar Netam, Hon’ble Minister, and Shri Sonmoni Borah, Principal Secretary, ST & SC Development, OBC & Minority Development Department, Government of Chhattisgarh.

Designed and developed by NIC, Chhattisgarh, the HMS MIS Portal is a comprehensive digital platform for managing hostels and ashrams across all districts of the state. It aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in the delivery of student welfare services.

A key feature of the portal is the integration of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to ensure timely and accountable fund disbursal directly to hostels and ashrams accommodating tribal students. By eliminating manual bottlenecks and enabling real-time monitoring, the system empowers administrators with better oversight and supports improved service delivery.

With this dual launch, the Chhattisgarh government reinforces its commitment to leveraging technology for the welfare of tribal communities and ensuring last-mile delivery of benefits in a transparent and efficient manner.
