towards nation’s development was launched today. Briefing about the initiative,

presents an opportunity to the citizens to participate in multiple theme-based
discussions and to share their thoughts and ideas with a wide range of people.
Citizens can upload documents, case studies, pictures, videos, other work plans
etc. on the platform. They can volunteer for various tasks and submit their
entries. These tasks would then be reviewed by other members and experts. Once
approved, these tasks can be shared by those who completed the task and by
other members on MyGov. Every approved task would earn credit points for
completed the task. National Informatics Centre (NIC), Department of
Electronics and Information Technology would manage the poratal .
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. Each group consists of online and on ground
tasks that can be taken up the contributors. The objective of each group is to
bring about a qualitative change in that sphere through people’s
participation.
Shri
Sharma, the Secretary Electronics and IT said that the platforms launched today
– “Discuss” and “Do” – will take feedback from the community and improve on a
continuous basis. He said that his department has plan to have a mobile app for
mygov.in, wherein while on the move, the citizens will have the flexibility to
take pictures from mobile and upload on the forum, report in-context problems
and issues etc. He said that this platform may even be extended to act like
public audit platform for government projects. For example, citizens giving
feedback on status of completed infrastructure projects, on availability of
