Prime Minister Narendra Modi reviewed six infrastructure projects worth over Rs 30,000 crore across nine states at the 53rd PRAGATI meeting on Tuesday. The projects span the railways, roads and power sectors. Modi stressed that delays carry consequences beyond cost escalation, postponing benefits meant for citizens, businesses and the economy, according to an official statement.
The prime minister called for integrated planning, faster inter-agency coordination and uncompromising quality. He also discussed cyber fraud, including digital arrest incidents, and urged sustained public awareness campaigns targeting senior citizens and youth. Modi emphasised leveraging artificial intelligence under the AgriStack mission to improve agricultural data use. Ministries and states were asked to adopt an end-to-end approach to avoid delays in commissioning entire projects.
Indian Opinion Analysis
PRAGATI, launched in 2015, is the Prime Minister's flagship platform for project monitoring, bringing together central ministries and state chief secretaries via video-conferencing. The review covers six projects in railways, roads and power, the Rs 30,000 crore figure places them in the large-project category that PRAGATI prioritises. The meeting is the 53rd since the platform began, indicating sustained use for tracking implementation bottlenecks. With nine states involved, coordination across state governments and central agencies remains the key challenge cited in past reviews. Sectoral progress data from previous meetings will be compared against the timelines set in this session, with the next review likely to revisit these projects.
