Each digital governance platform is mapped to its established mandate: PRAGATI monitors flagship national projects and critical schemes; CPGRAMS provides the unified interface for lodging and tracking citizen grievances; GeM serves as the national public procurement marketplace; and e-NAM provides the electronic trading platform for physical agricultural mandis.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the functional scope of PRAGATI
PRAGATI connects the PMO, Union Secretaries, and State Chief Secretaries for real-time monitoring of mega projects, pairing with the ICT and spatial data project review description.
PRAGATI specifically serves pro-active governance and project monitoring.
2
Identify the mandate of CPGRAMS
CPGRAMS serves as the nodal citizen grievance platform managed by DARPG, pairing with the centralized citizen grievance redressal mechanism.
It functions as a 24x7 single-window grievance submission portal.
3
Identify the role of GeM and e-NAM
GeM governs government procurement of goods and services, while e-NAM connects APMC mandis for agri-trade.
Differentiating procurement governance from agricultural commodity market unification completes all matches.
