PRAGATI Initiative Boosts India's Governance Reforms
The PRAGATI initiative, started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015, is a big step towards improving how the government works in India.
It helps make sure that important projects, like building bridges, hospitals, and roads, get completed on time.
PRAGATI uses technology to keep track of these projects and makes sure that different parts of the government work together.
Over the years, it has helped finish many projects that were stuck for a long time.
This not only saves money but also helps people get better services faster.
PRAGATI also looks at important programs in health, education, and other areas to make sure they are working well.
It shows that good governance can make a big difference in people's lives.
PRAGATI initiative, launched in 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, focuses on governance reforms and timely project implementation.
Over Rs. 85 lakh crore worth of projects have been monitored, with 93% of identified issues resolved.
PRAGATI integrates digital data management, geo-spatial technology, and video conferencing for effective project tracking.
The initiative has successfully completed long-pending projects like the Bogibeel rail-cum-road bridge and the Navi Mumbai International Airport.
PRAGATI reinforces cooperative federalism by bringing together Union Secretaries and Chief Secretaries for collaborative problem-solving.
