Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently, chaired the meeting of 41st
edition of PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation),
the ICT based multi-modal platform , involving Centre and State
governments.
Who designed it?
The system has been designed in-house by the PMO team with the
help of National Informatics Center (NIC).
Key Highlights:
It was launched in 2015 by the Prime Minister’s office (PMO).
The PRAGATI platform uniquely bundles three latest technologies:
Digital data management,
Video-conferencing and
Geo-spatial technology.
It is a three-tier system (PMO, Union Government Secretaries and Chief
Secretaries of the States).
The Prime Minister will hold a monthly programme where he will interact
with the Government of India Secretaries, and Chief Secretaries through
video-conferencing enabled by data and geo- informatics visuals.
Benefits:
It is aimed at addressing common man’s grievances and simultaneously
monitoring and reviewing important programmes and projects of the Government
of India as well as projects flagged by State Governments.
It is a robust system for bringing e- transparency and
e-accountability with real- time presence and exchange among the key
stakeholders.
It promotes cooperative federalism as it brings on one platform
the Secretaries of Government of India and the Chief Secretaries of the
States.
