Prime minister Narendra Modi launched a website MyGov on Saturday that aims to help citizens contribute in governance by giving their opinions and views on important issues like clean Ganga or skill development.

The inauguration of the people-centric platform also marks the completion of 60 days of the new government.

The Prime Minister said in the past 60 days, the experience of his government was that there were many people who wanted to contribute towards nation-building and devote their time and energy, an official statement said. Modi said MyGov (mygov.nic.in) is a technology-driven medium that will provide citizens an opportunity to contribute towards good governance, the statement added.

 ‘The platform would bridge gap gulf between people and government. Democracy cannot succeed without people’s participation in government and this participation should not be limited only during elections,’ the Prime Minister said. Besides Modi, communications and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, cabinet secretary Ajit Seth, DEITY secretary R S Sharma were also present at the launch of the portal.

National Informatics Centre of the Department of Electronics and Information Technology will implement and manage the platform.
