NITI Aayog Launches Central Prabhari Officer (CPO) Portal to Strengthen Real-Time Governance and Last-Mile Delivery

• CPO Portal is a digital monitoring platform launched by NITI Aayog on 5 May 2026 to enable real-time field reporting by Central Prabhari Officers under the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) and Aspirational Blocks Programme (ABP).
• Operationalises the convergence–collaboration–competition philosophy of ADP by digitising the feedback loop between CPOs ↔ District Magistrates ↔ State Planning Secretaries ↔ Line Ministries ↔ NITI Aayog.
• UPSC-relevant as a governance reform (e-governance, last-mile delivery, cooperative federalism) intersecting GS-II (governance) and GS-III (technology in administration).
