Spotlighting the PRAGATI portal’s efficacy, Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai detailed its success in resolving critical state bottlenecks, crediting PM Modi’s stewardship for elevating India to the global economic top-four. This platform vividly demonstrates governance integrity and streamlined operations.
Addressing reporters in Raipur, Sai described PRAGATI as a beacon of ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance,’ extending beyond tracking mega-projects to cultivating a proactive administrative mindset.
India’s democracy earns global admiration through effective federal coordination, with PRAGATI serving as the linchpin for project and policy rollout. Its mantra—preparation leading to timely, impactful delivery—promotes accountability and positive systemic change.
Over 3,300 ventures worth ₹85 lakh crore have been accelerated, alongside refinements in 61 programs spanning ration cards to sanitation. Thirty-six sectors now benefit from empowered redressal systems.
In the state, 99 infrastructure endeavors at ₹6.11 lakh crore are progressing, 50 complete. PRAGATI cleared 183 of 200 issues (91% rate), spanning power (24 projects), highways (23), railways (14), coal (7), and steel (9).
Decade-old hurdles at Bhilai Steel, Lara Super Thermal, and Raipur-Kodebod road—tied to land and supplies—were decisively resolved, igniting industrial momentum and job creation. Chhattisgarh’s experience proves PRAGATI’s power in forging a faster, fairer future.
