Key facts

NITI Aayog has launched the Central Prabhari Officer (CPO) portal to strengthen real-time governance and improve coordination among stakeholders.
The portal is designed to accelerate last-mile delivery under the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) and Aspirational Blocks Programme (ABP).
Central Prabhari Officers (CPOs) will submit field observations and recommendations in real time via mobile devices to inform policy actions and administrative interventions.
The platform enables Districts to view suggestions provided by CPOs and submit responses, while State Planning Secretaries coordinate implementation across departments.
Officers at NITI Aayog and various Line Ministries and Departments will monitor these inputs to ensure data-driven governance and faster administrative response.
