eSakshi is a newly launched mobile application in January 2024, developed by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) in India. It’s designed to revolutionize the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) by increasing transparency and efficiency in the management of development projects. The app allows MPs to propose, track, and oversee projects in their constituencies, facilitating better decision-making and reducing the risk of fund misuse. While it marks a significant step towards modernizing the MPLADS implementation, it faces challenges like bridging the digital divide in rural areas and ensuring data accuracy.
