About PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation)

It is a multi-purpose and multi-modal platform launched in 2015.
It is aimed at addressing common man’s grievances and simultaneously monitoring and reviewing important programmes and projects of the Government (Both Centre & State).
The PRAGATI platform uniquely bundles three latest technologies: Digital data management, video-conferencing and geo-spatial technology.

Key Features of PRAGATI Platform

It is a three-tier system (PMO, Union Government Secretaries and Chief Secretaries of the States)
Monthly video-conferences led by the Prime Minister are held on the 4th Wednesday of each month (PRAGATI Day) to discuss flagged issues.
Issues are sourced from public grievances, ongoing programs and pending projects and are uploaded 7 days prior to PRAGATI Day.
Union Government Secretaries and Chief Secretaries have to put their comments and updates about the flagged issues within 3 days
The PMO reviews the data again before the next PRAGATI Day meeting.
The system integrates data from CPGRAMS, PMG, and the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
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.
