Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched an online platform >mygov.nic.in to engage citizens in the task of “good governance” (surajya) as he completed 60 days in office on Saturday.
MyGov is a technology-driven platform that would provide people with the opportunity to contribute towards good governance.
“Groups and corners are an important part of MyGov. The platform has been divided into various groups namely Clean Ganga, Girl Child Education, Clean India, Skilled India, Digital India, Job Creation,” an official release said. Each group allows for “online” and “on-ground” tasks to be undertaken by contributors.
In a video address posted on the Prime Minister’s website, Mr. Modi pointed out there was a widespread belief in the country that after a government is elected, a gap develops between the people and the executive.
Mr. Modi stressed that democracy could not succeed without people’s participation.
