Mr Narendra Modi launched government's official portal namely-MyGov that empowers the citizens to send their suggestions so that functioning of the government can be improved. The web address for the portal is–http://mygov.nic.in.

Launching the portal in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, the success of democracy is impossible without participation of the people.

Stating that in the past, there was a huge gap between the people and the processes of governance, Mr Modi said, in the last sixty days, the experience of his government was that there were many people who wanted to contribute towards nation-building.

The Prime Minister expressed the confidence that people will welcome the initiative and invited the suggestions to strengthen and improve the platform. He hoped that everyone would join hands through this platform to take the country forward and to meet the aspirations of the poorest of the poor. The Prime Minister said he looks forward to receiving the suggestions, views and ideas of the people.

AIR correspondent reports, the platform-MyGov- gives an opportunity to the people to both Discuss and Do. Any idea shared by a contributor will be discussed on several forums, which will allow constructive feedback and interaction.

For those who wish to go beyond discussions and wish to contribute on the ground, MyGov offers several avenues to do so. Citizens can volunteer for various tasks and submit their entries. Other members and experts will then review these tasks. Once approved, these tasks can be shared by those who complete the task and by other members on MyGov.
