PRAGATI Emerges as a Game-Changer for J&K Development

At a press briefing, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo emphasized how PRAGATI has become a powerful governance tool for Jammu & Kashmir. The platform, reviewed monthly by the Prime Minister, integrates technology and inter-departmental coordination to accelerate infrastructure projects and address long-pending issues.

Key Highlights:

• PRAGATI@50 Milestone: The platform has successfully monitored projects worth ₹4.12 lakh crore, resolving 57 of 59 identified issues.
• Rail Link Example: The Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), stalled since 1995, gained momentum under PRAGATI’s close monitoring.
• Infrastructure Push: Projects across roads, power, health, industry, education, and digital connectivity are being fast tracked.
• Governance Impact: PRAGATI ensures real-time review and accountability, reducing procedural delays and inter-departmental bottlenecks.
• Citizen Centric Approach: Alongside infrastructure, PRAGATI addresses public grievances, strengthening trust in governance.
• Future Outlook: The platform is expected to play a pivotal role in achieving world-class infrastructure standards in J&K.

This initiative underscores how technology-driven governance is reshaping development in Jammu & Kashmir, ensuring timely delivery of projects critical to the region’s growth.
