'Transforming India'New Delhi :  With the aim of sharing the impact of various governance initiatives with citizens in real-time, the government has launched a website — ‘Transforming India’ — an official statement said here on Saturday.

The website was launched by Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology and Law and Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad.

“This site is an effort by MyGov to comprehensively record each and every aspect of this transformation,” he said.

The website, www.transformingindia.mygov.in, will provide information in a user-friendly format enabling citizens to view the content in the form of infographics, e-books, performance dashboard, videos, daily news corner, and engage with the content by comments and sharing the content through social media.

“The key facets of the website are that it promotes accountability in major national initiatives, acts as a repository of major policies and decisions and provides a central platform to citizens for sharing of transformational changes that they see around themselves. The website thus bridges the gap between citizens and government and provides a seamless interface for two way information interchange,” the statement said.

This community based platform facilitates two-way communication between the government and citizens.

There is a section in the site especially for citizen voices. Citizens can share stories about transformative growth in India that they see around themselves. This can be in the format of videos, photos and comments.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
