PRAGATI Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation

Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi introduced his ambitious multi-purpose and multi-modal platform PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation). 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.

During the first PRAGATI interaction 25 March 2015, the Prime Minister discussed issues relating to unseasonal rain and relief to farmers, public grievances, project implementation, Swachh Bharat and ‘ease of doing business.’ The interaction lasted for two hours.

Key features of the PRAGATI application are as follows:

• Three-tier system (PMO, Union Government Secretaries, and Chief Secretaries of the States);
• PM interact with the Government of India Secretaries, and Chief Secretaries through Video-conferencing enabled by data and geo-informatics visuals;
• First programme - launched on 25th March, 2015 (Wednesday) at 3.30 PM;
• Every month on Fourth Wednesday at 3.30 PM-to be known as PRAGATI Day.
• Issues to be flagged before the PM are picked up from the available database regarding Public Grievances, on-going Programmes and pending Projects;
• The system will ride on, strengthen and re-engineer the data bases of the CPGRAMS for grievances, Project Monitoring Group (PMG) and the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. PRAGATI provides an interface and platform for all these three aspects.
• It will also take into consideration various correspondences to PM’s office by the common people or from high dignitaries of States and/or developers of public projects;
• The issues flagged are uploaded seven days prior to the PRAGATI day
• These issues can be viewed by the Union Government Secretaries and Chief Secretaries after entering into the application;
• User ID and Password for each of the Union Government Secretaries and Chief Secretaries have been created and made available;
• Union Government Secretaries and Chief Secretaries will be able to see the issues pertaining to their Department /State;
• Union Government Secretaries and Chief Secretaries have to put their comments and updates about the flagged issues within three days (i.e. by next Monday);
• One day – Tuesday is available to the PMO team to review the data entered by the Union Government Secretaries and Chief Secretaries;
• 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.
