AAP govt plans app to let people track its work
With an aim to enable citizens to track government’s work, schemes, projects, etc., the Delhi government has planned to launch a mobile application which would serve as a “single-window” platform to let people check status of its various projects.
“The planning department has been asked to develop an app which will enable citizens to know about government’s work, schemes, proposals and projects and track their implementation at a single platform,” said a senior government official.
The planning department has already started work on the project and if things go according to the plan, one can track several Delhi government’s projects and proposals through the mobile app from October, the official said.
The move is intended to put in public domain all relevant information about government work and also enable the masses to track them.
The name for the mobile application is yet to be finalised, the official said.
Earlier this month, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had said the

Delhi government would put all relevant information online to ensure transparency in its functioning. He had also said that if the government puts all information online, people won’t need to then file RTI applications.
“People of respective areas would be able to straight away verify the claims,” he had said.
The Delhi Assembly has also directed all government departments to send their replies to questions asked by legislators via email and in a pen drive.
The system will come into effect when the fourday Monsoon Session of the Assembly begins on August 8.
