Lucknow,

13 Jan (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath comments on the

government of India's PRAGATI platform, “'PRAGATI' is a fresh example of our

new India's work culture, which entails proactive governance and prompts execution.

In 2014, the Prime Minister lay the groundwork for digital governance and

collaborative federalism. 'PRAGATI' shown that when intent, technology, and

responsibility are combined, outcomes are automatically decided... 'PRAGATI'

stands for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation. It represents

progress in our mega-infrastructure projects, social programs, system reforms,

and Team India strategy. It shows how'minimum government and maximum

governance' may be our guiding concept... This is both a review and a

governance reform.

“PRAGATI'

brought about a fundamental shift in the direction of field findings, moving

away from a field-based governance culture. On a nationwide scale, around 86

lakh crore projects have been implemented under 'PRAGATI'. More than 86 lakh

crore of projects have been completed, including 377 projects reviewed directly

by the Prime Minister at the national level. Out of 3,162 projects, 2,958 were

successfully completed. This isn't just a statistic; it also shows the

legitimacy of government. 'PRAGATI has pioneered innovative approaches to

economic, social, environmental, and good governance. In major states like

Uttar Pradesh, it has proven to be a game changer. Uttar Pradesh has also

emerged as India's infrastructural growth engine. Not just the state, but also

the national development infrastructure, has become the backbone. We are

forwarding it through the progress portal,” he added.

Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday that the PRAGATI Portal (Proactive

Governance and Timely Implementation) has given meaning to minimum government

and maximum governance. The PRAGATI Portal has prevented time delay and incurring

cost. The Chief Minister said that through PRAGATI, the country is reaching new

heights, while Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the nation's growth engine.

Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath, in a press conference at his official residence at 5

Kalidas Marg on Tuesday, spoke about the benefits the PRAGATI Portal is

providing to the state and the country. He said that Prime Minister Narendra

Modi began promoting digitization as soon as he came to power in 2014.

Previously, as Chief Minister of Gujarat, he initiated this initiative at the state

level. In continuation of this initiative, the PRAGATI Portal was launched in

2015. It not only reviews major projects within the country but has also become

an example of a new work culture within the country. It is monitored by the

Prime Minister's Office. Through this portal, coordination between the central

and state governments is being developed to advance government schemes.

Similarly,

coordination between different state governments and departments within

governments is also being established to advance government schemes. Chief

Minister Yogi said that the results we are seeing today are being made possible

by the use of cutting-edge technology under the visionary leadership of Prime

Minister Modi. In 2003, as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra

Modi developed PRAGATI to address citizen grievances and create accountability.

PRAGATI is its national version. This portal, which stands for Proactive

Governance and Timely Implementation, means that this portal has become an

important foundation for Minimum Government, Maximum Governance.

Decisions have been expedited through it, preventing time delay and incurring cost.

Coordination between central and state ministries and departments has

strengthened, and accountability has been established.

Nationally,

PRAGATI has accelerated projects worth Rs. 86 lakh crore. Of these, 377 major

projects are directly reviewed by the Prime Minister at the national level.

2,958 of 3,152 issues have been resolved. This isn't just a statistic; it also

reflects the government's work. In a state like Uttar Pradesh, PRAGATI has

proven to be a game-changer. Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the nation's growth

engine. Today, Uttar Pradesh has a new identity. Suresh Khanna, Minister of

Finance and Parliamentary Affairs, Government of Uttar Pradesh, was present on

this occasion.
