Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the PRAGATI meeting, the ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, involving the Centre and State governments, yesterday. During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed three major infrastructure projects worth over 62 thousand crore rupees.
The projects are related to the sectors of Road Transport, Power, and Water Resources located across various States and Union Territories. Emphasising the strategic importance of these projects, Mr Modi called for concerted efforts to overcome implementation bottlenecks and ensure their timely completion. Highlighting the adverse impact of project delays, the Prime Minister reiterated that such setbacks not only inflate costs but also deprive citizens of essential services and infrastructure. He urged all stakeholders to prioritise efficiency and accountability, stressing that timely delivery is critical to maximising socio-economic outcomes.
During a review of public grievances linked to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), Prime Minister Modi emphasised the need to improve the quality and timeliness of grievance disposal to ensure justice and fairness for homebuyers. He also asked State Governments to ensure the mandatory registration of all eligible real estate projects under the RERA Act.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister also examined notable best practices related to the development of the Semiconductor Ecosystem in India. He emphasised that such initiatives can serve as a guiding model for others and inspire broader adoption across States and UTs for strengthening the National Semiconductor Mission. So far in PRAGATI meetings, 373 projects having a total cost of around 20.64 lakh crore rupees have been reviewed.
