ABOUT PRAGATI

• PRAGATI stands for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation.
• Launched –25 March 2015.
• PRAGATI is a unique integrating and interactive platform.
• The platform 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 seeks to bridge the inter-departmental gaps between various government bodies and to reduce the time for project implementation.
• PRAGATI is an Information and Communication Technology Platform that remains under the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
• It 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)
• It provides a unique combination for cooperative federalism. This is done by bringing the Chief Secretaries of the states and the Secretaries of the GOI on one platform.
• The system will ride on, strengthen, and re-engineer the data bases of the CPGRAMS for grievances, the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) and the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
  • PRAGATI provides an interface and platform for all these three aspects.
