PDI

The Panchayat Development Index (PDI) Portal is a comprehensive digital platform designed to foster holistic development in rural India, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for 2030. The PDI serves as a multi-domain index that evaluates the overall performance and progress of panchayats by examining various socio-economic indicators. Key areas of assessment include infrastructure, health, education, economic and social indicators, governance, and environmental sustainability.

By highlighting disparities and development achievements, the PDI enables public representatives, policymakers, and local authorities to implement targeted interventions aimed at improving the quality of life for rural communities. The portal facilitates data collection through partnerships with various ministries and employs structured methodologies to ensure accurate assessments. Additionally, the PDI promotes training and workshops while providing tools such as the Panchayat NIRNAY App for real-time updates and decision-making support.

Overall, the PDI Portal is vital for strategizing sustainable development initiatives in rural India
