NEW DELHI: MyGov platform, aimed at empowering people to connect with the government, marked six years on Sunday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that it has emerged as a noteworthy forum that “celebrates participative governance”.
MyGov platform is a unique, path-breaking initiative in participatory governance involving the common citizen at large.
The first-of-its-kind platform was launched on July 26, 2014 by Prime Minister Modi.
The idea of MyGov brings the government closer to the common people by the use of online platform creating an interface for healthy exchange of ideas and views involving the common citizen and experts with the ultimate goal to contribute to the social and economic transformation of India.
“Today, as we mark #6YearsofMyGov, I appreciate all those across India who have enriched @mygovindia by their active participation,” Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
“MyGov has emerged as a noteworthy forum that celebrates participative governance. Do keep contributing!” he said.

There are 1,22,79,631 registered members of MyGov platform till now, according to its portal.
