How the exam will ask it
पूर्व
- PRAGATI is an ICT-based, multi-purpose and multi-modal platform chaired by the Prime Minister.
- It is used to review grievances and to monitor major infrastructure projects and programmes of the Centre and states.
- It aims at integrating and reviewing implementation across Union Ministries and State governments, promoting cooperative federalism.
- Its full form is Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation.
मुख्य
GS2 Governance (e-governance, accountability, cooperative federalism). Delays and cost overruns in large infrastructure projects stem from poor Centre-state and inter-ministerial coordination; PRAGATI addresses this through direct, periodic PM-level review of projects and grievances on a common ICT platform. The way forward is to institutionalise follow-up on decisions, publish outcome data and extend similar monitoring to the district level.

उत्तर पहा
उत्तर: C — Correct: Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation — PRAGATI is the ICT-based multi-purpose platform for grievance redress and monitoring of key projects and programmes. • Programme for Rural Administration and Governance Through Integration — wrong: This is an invented expansion; PRAGATI is about pro-active governance and timely implementation of projects. • Public Reforms and Grievance Audit Through Information — wrong: Not the expansion; the platform is for pro-active governance and project monitoring, not a reform audit. • Planned Review of Annual Growth and Trade Indicators — wrong: PRAGATI does not review trade statistics; it monitors projects and grievances.
