About

Aim: To improve public administration and accelerate implementation of government programmes and projects.
PRAGATI functions as a tripartite platform integrating three hierarchical levels: the Prime Minister’s Office at the apex, Union Government Secretaries as the middle tier, and State Chief Secretaries as the operational base.

The primary purposes of PRAGATI are:
Project Monitoring: Track progress of high-value and critical infrastructure projects and resolve delays or bottlenecks.
Programme Implementation: Ensure timely and efficient execution of government schemes and missions.
Grievance Redressal: Address persistent public grievances by integrating with systems like Centralised Public Grievance Redressal and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) for citizen complaints.
Key Achievements
377 projects have been reviewed under PRAGATI, and across these projects, 2,958 out of 3,162 identified issues – i.e. around 94% have been resolved.
Several projects that had remained stalled for decades were completed or decisively unlocked after being taken up under the PRAGATI platform.
Conclusion
PRAGATI represents an institutional innovation that addresses fundamental challenges in India’s developmental governance—project execution delays, inter-governmental coordination failures, and accountability deficits.
The platform exemplifies how strategic technology deployment combined with high-level accountability can transform governance effectiveness.
