New Delhi, July 26
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched a website, MyGov, to help people contribute in governance by giving their views on important issues.

Inaugurating the people-centric platform, which also marks the completion of 60 days of the new government, the Prime Minister said the success of democracy was impossible without participation of the people.

Modi said in the past 60 days, his government experienced that there were many people who wanted to contribute towards nation-building, an official statement said.

“The only thing they required was an opportunity to shine and showcase their contribution,” the Prime Minister said, while adding that the MyGov platform is a technology-driven medium that would provide an opportunity to contribute towards good governance.

He said he looked forward to receiving the suggestions, views and ideas of the people.

There are multiple theme-based discussions on MyGov where people would share their thoughts and ideas. Further, any idea shared by a contributor will also be discussed on these discussion forums. Citizens can volunteer for various tasks and submit their entries. These tasks would then be reviewed by other members and experts. Once approved, these tasks can be shared by those who complete the task and by other members on MyGov.
