Oxford University lauds PM Narendra Modi’s PRAGATI initiative for digital governance excellence

Oxford University has recognized India’s PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation) platform as a groundbreaking example of how digital governance can effectively drive progress in infrastructure and social development. Launched in 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, PRAGATI integrates advanced technology with governance to resolve bottlenecks, expedite project implementation, and improve inter-departmental collaboration. A report by Oxford, “From Gridlock to Growth: How Leadership Enables India’s PRAGATI Ecosystem to Power Progress,” highlights the initiative’s success in fostering accountability, efficiency, and innovation. It asserts that PRAGATI’s achievements offer a model for emerging economies aiming to overcome bureaucratic inertia and achieve sustainable growth.
