PRAGATI Platform

About PRAGATI Platform:

• PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation) is the Government of India’s flagship platform launched in 2015.
• It focuses on fast-tracking projects, schemes, and grievance redressal through direct, real-time review by the Prime Minister, in partnership with States and Union Ministries.
• The system has been designed in-house by the PMO team with the help of the National Informatics Center (NIC).
• It uniquely brings together three modern technologies—digital data management, video conferencing, and geospatial technology.
• Key Features of PRAGATI Platform:
  • It is a three-tier system (PMO, Union Government Secretaries, and Chief Secretaries of the States).
  • At the apex level, the Prime Minister chairs PRAGATI review meetings with Chief Secretaries of States and Secretaries of Central Ministries/Departments to resolve issues related to identified projects and schemes.
  • The design is such that when PM reviews the issue, he should have on his screen the issue as well as the latest updates and visuals regarding the same.
  • Following the meetings, a multi-tier follow-up mechanism ensures timely implementation of decisions. 
  • Projects are monitored by the Cabinet Secretariat, while schemes and grievances are reviewed at the Ministry level under continuous oversight of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
  • Issues to be flagged before the PM are picked up from the available database regarding public grievances, ongoing programmes, and pending projects.
