New Delhi: The eGramSwaraj platform continues to accelerate India’s digital governance transformation at the grassroots level, with cumulative online payments surpassing ₹3 lakh crores.
Alongside this milestone, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has expanded its AI-powered tool SabhaSaar to 23 Indian languages, strengthening transparency and inclusivity across Gram Panchayats.
In a major boost to technology-driven governance, eGramSwaraj has enabled real-time payments directly to vendors and service providers, ensuring complete digital traceability.
Developed under the e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project and integrated with the Public Financial Management System (PFMS), eGramSwaraj has streamlined planning, accounting, and expenditure processes at the Panchayat level, effectively replacing cash-based and paper-driven systems with a faster, accountable, and fraud-resistant digital framework.

The platform has also received national recognition, being declared the Winner in the Artificial Intelligence category at the Technology Sabha Excellence Awards 2026 by The Indian Express Group. It also secured the Silver Award in the AI for Social Impact category at the Economic Times GovTech Awards 2026.
