Digital Push for PM-AJAY Implementation
The newly launched PM-AJAY Mobile App has been developed to provide mobile-based access to scheme-related services, improve village-level planning and implementation, strengthen field monitoring, enable real-time reporting, and enhance transparency in governance.
Officials stated that the application has been designed as a unified digital platform to replace traditional paper-based processes such as surveys with a seamless digital system. The app offers a user-friendly interface for services related to skilling, employment, education, and monitoring under the scheme.
Key Features of the PM-AJAY Mobile App
The mobile application integrates several major components under PM-AJAY, including:
- Adarsh Gram component from the existing PMAGY portal
- Grant-in-Aid (GIA) component under PM-AJAY
- Hostel component under PM-AJAY
- Unified login and role-based access control
- Geo-tagging and dashboard-based reporting
- Mobile inspections and photo upload features
- Notifications and integration with existing government portals
According to officials, the app is expected to improve operational efficiency, enable real-time monitoring, strengthen transparency, accelerate reporting processes, and reduce dependence on desktop-based systems.
Government Highlights Digital Governance Push
During the launch, Dr. Virendra Kumar described the initiative as a major step towards transparent, technology-driven, and efficient delivery of welfare schemes for Scheduled Caste communities.
The Minister also administered pledges related to Senior Citizen Welfare and the Nasha Mukt Bharat campaign during the programme.
