- The Ministry monitors ongoing Central Sector Infrastructure Projects through the PAIMANA portal.

What happened
The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation has said that it monitors ongoing Central Sector Infrastructure Projects costing Rs. 150 crore and above through the online portal and web monitoring system Project Assessment Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics for Nation-Building (PAIMANA). The Ministry said that Line Ministries, Departments, and implementing agencies update project information through application programming interfaces and data-entry mode.
The Ministry said that project-wise details of ongoing infrastructure projects are available in the Flash Report on the PAIMANA website. It also said that the portal supports rich data analytics, output-oriented reports, and customizable dashboards for apex-level monitoring.
UPSC can frame this as an infrastructure-governance question on how digital monitoring improves project execution, what causes time and cost overruns, and why inter-ministerial coordination matters for large public projects.
