The Government has been implementing eGramSwaraj under e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project, as a part of Digital India Program, in the country to revamp the functioning of Panchayats.

eGramSwaraj aims to bring in better transparency in the decentralised planning, progress reporting and work-based accounting.
Benefits of it:
Monitoring and recording all the work via Gram Swaraj Portal/App will help speed-up the implementation of projects in village areas.
