New Delhi, 2 December (H.S.): A recent study by the University of Oxford titled From Gridlock to Growth: How Leadership Enables India's PRAGATI Ecosystem to Power Progress highlights the transformative impact of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiatives on the country's development.

The study examines how the PRAGATI platform, launched in 2015, has revolutionized the management and monitoring of government projects in India. The report praises the platform for its digital governance, collaborative approach, and focus on accountability and efficiency.

By leveraging technology and bringing together various stakeholders, PRAGATI has successfully addressed complex challenges in infrastructure development and social sector programs. This has not only accelerated project timelines but also ensured equitable distribution of development benefits across the country.

The economic impact of PRAGATI is evident, with studies showing a multiplier effect of 2.5 to 3.5 rupees for every rupee spent on infrastructure.

This has not only contributed to India's economic growth and resilience during global uncertainties but also showcases the critical role of well-executed infrastructure projects in driving progress.
