Union Minister Dr. Virendra Kumar launches the PM-AJAY Portal & AJAY Mobile App

New Delhi ( Vivek Ojha ) : Union Minister Dr. Virendra Kumar launched the PM-AJAY Portal & AJAY Mobile App to digitize and strengthen the implementation of SC welfare schemes. The PM-AJAY Portal will enable real-time monitoring, transparent governance and milestone-linked fund flow for Adarsh Gram, GIA and Hostel components under PM-AJAY. It aimed at transition from paper based work flow and processing to end to end digital work flow and processing on real time basis.

The Department of Social Justice and Empowerment is implementing multiple welfare initiatives under PM AJAY aimed at socio-economic development of Scheduled Caste communities. The PM AJAY Mobile App aims to provide mobile-based access to schematic services, village level last mile planning and implementation, improve field-level monitoring, facilitate real-time reporting, and strengthen transparency and digital governance.

The PM AJAY Mobile App has been conceptualized and developed as a unified digital platform to transition from paper based work flow such as surveys and village development plans (VDPs) preparation at filed level to digital platform. The application provides seamless access to scheme-related information, monitoring, reporting, and beneficiary-centric services through a user-friendly mobile interface for skilling, employment and educational schemes.

The PM-AJAY portal serves as the central command to enable milestone-linked fund flows. For the Adarsh Gram component, the portal provides comprehensive national, state, and district-level dashboards to monitor model village development against 50 monitorable socio-economic indicators across 10 developmental domains.

It streamlines operations by automating milestone-linked tracking as soon as a Village Development Plan (VDP) is digitally approved. Further, for the Grants-in-Aid (GIA) Component for skilling and employment, the portal serves as a centralized planning mechanism and management information system (MIS). This MIS aggregates state-wide data to track large-scale financial outlays and funding allocations for livelihoods.
