Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the PRAGATI meeting, the ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, involving Centre and State governments, earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed three major infrastructure projects with a cumulative cost of over Rs 620 billion, spanning the sectors of Road Transport, Power, and Water Resources located across various States and UTs. Emphasizing the strategic importance of these projects, he called for concerted efforts to overcome implementation bottlenecks and ensure their timely completion.

Highlighting the adverse impact of project delays, 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 emphasized the need to improve the quality and timeliness of grievance disposal to ensure justice and fairness for homebuyers. He asked State Governments to ensure the mandatory registration of all eligible real estate projects under the RERA Act. The Prime Minister emphasised that strict compliance with RERA provisions is critical for restoring trust in the housing market.

Prime Minister examined notable best practices related to the development of the Semiconductor Ecosystem in India. He emphasized that such initiatives can serve as a guiding model for others and inspire broader adoption across States and UTs, thereby strengthening the National Semiconductor Mission.

Up to the present PRAGATI meetings, 373 projects having a total cost of around Rs 20.64 trillion have been reviewed.
