Nyaya Vikas portal launched

• Nyaya Vikas Portal was launched recently by Ministry of Law and Justice for monitoring the implementation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) Nyay Vikas.
• It provides four fast methods of logging in, providing stakeholders with easy access to information on funding, documentation, project monitoring, and approval.
• The portal provides a dashboard that shows the progress of the scheme on various parameters such as the number of court halls and residential units available, the number of projects sanctioned, the number of projects completed, the number of projects under construction and the number of projects pending.
• The portal also provides a map view that shows the location and status of each project across the country.
• The portal generates various reports such as state-wise reports, district-wise reports, project-wise reports and progress reports that can be downloaded by the users.
