- The PRAGATI platform combines three advanced technologies: digital data management, video conferencing, and geo-spatial technology.
Key features

- Prime Minister will hold a monthly programme where he will interact with the Government of India Secretaries, and Chief Secretaries through Video-conferencing enabled by data and geo-informatics visuals.
