PRAGATI has transformed UP from a bottleneck state to a breakthrough state: CM Yogi

Lucknow, Jan 13 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that ‘PRAGATI’ (Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation), the administrative framework envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, first during his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat and further institutionalised after becoming the Prime Minister at the national level, is not merely a platform for reviewing major infrastructure projects, but a powerful reflection of the new work culture of New India. The administrative framework, he said, has helped transform states like UP which was considered a "bottleneck State" for long into a "breakthrough State."
Addressing a special press conference here on Tuesday, he noted that PRAGATI has demonstrated that when intent, technology, and accountability converge, effective outcomes naturally follow. “Technology-driven platforms like PRAGATI have transformed Uttar Pradesh from a bottleneck state into a breakthrough state. The state government has moved beyond the role of a facilitator to that of an accelerator, actively driving project execution.”
By strengthening digital governance and cooperative federalism, ‘PRAGATI’ has emerged as a robust mechanism for resolving complex issues through seamless inter-ministerial and inter-departmental coordination, Yogi said. Tracing its origins, the Chief Minister said, “The model originated in Gujarat in 2003 as SWAGAT (State-Wide Attention on Grievances by Application of Technology), a pioneering initiative aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in grievance redressal. This framework later evolved into the national PRAGATI platform, reinforcing the spirit of Team India across mega infrastructure projects, social welfare schemes, and systemic reforms.”
