The seminar will identify the current gaps and present a solution. Additionally, an interactive public dashboard is presented – developed as part of the India Policy Insights initiative – that will enable MPs, their constituents, and interested stakeholders to track policy indicators across various programs of Government of India for their respective PCs.
