Prime Minister’s flagship platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, PRAGATI, has marked a significant milestone with the successful conduct of its 50th meeting. Since its launch by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015, PRAGATI has transformed governance by enabling real-time monitoring and resolution of key infrastructure projects and public grievances through direct Prime Ministerial review.
The platform exemplifies cooperative federalism, bringing together the Centre, States, and Union Ministries on a single digital interface. Over a decade, PRAGATI has helped accelerate decision-making, resolution of issues causing delay in key infrastructure projects, and instilled a strong culture of accountability. It has also emerged as a platform for governance reforms, not merely monitoring.
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bibinagar, is being established at Yadadri Bhuvanagiri District, Telangana, under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana. The project commenced on July 2022 and has achieved around 86 per cent physical progress as of 1st of December last year, keeping it on track for completion by the end of June this year.
The project has recorded a rapid and impressive execution, with physical progress rising from 8.6 per cent in 2022-23 to around 86 per cent in 2025-26. Prime Minister reviewed the project under the PRAGATI mechanism on 28th of June, 2023, following which a clear progress in project execution was observed. As of 14th September, 2023, the physical progress stood at 29 per cent, which increased sharply to 57 per cent by the end of 2023-24, reflecting the impact of focused monitoring and expedited decision-making under PRAGATI.
Executive Director, AIIMS, Bibinagar, Dr Amita Aggarwal, highlighted how the PRAGATI mechanism helped resolve critical issues like water supply and power supply to AIIMS.
The hospital is expected to generate around 3,000 direct jobs across faculty and non-faculty positions. Once operational, the institution will significantly strengthen tertiary healthcare, medical education and regional employment.
