What MyGov Maharashtra does

MyGov Maharashtra is a state-level citizen engagement platform operated by the Maharashtra MyGov Cell, functioning as the Maharashtra implementation of the national MyGov platform launched by the Government of India in 2014. The Maharashtra portal was rolled out in 2016 under the 'Aaple Sarkar with MyGov' branding and provides citizens with structured channels for participating in governance beyond elections. Core products include Open Forum (खुले व्यासपीठ) for general discussions, 'Mi Mukhyamantri Boltoy' (मी मुख्यमंत्री बोलतोय) for direct dialogue with the Chief Minister, Do (करा) for task participation, Discuss (चर्चा करा) for themed conversations, Poll/Survey (जनमत) for opinion polling, Blog for impact storytelling, and Groups (गट) for topic-based interest communities, supplemented by a 'MyGov in Media' news section.

The underlying technology stack is built on Drupal and is designed, developed, and hosted by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, Government of India. The platform supports multi-factor authentication via government identity services (JanParichay, Digilocker, Parichay) and social logins (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter), and offers multilingual access in English, Hindi, and Marathi. Notable platform-orchestrated initiatives include the 2016 Mission Plantation world-record campaign (2.82 crore trees in a single day, Limca Book of World Records), the 2017 Vanmohotsav tree plantation drive (target 4 crore saplings), and the 2017 Chief Minister Fellowship Program.

MyGov Maharashtra operates under a non-commercial model: it is a free service funded by the Government of Maharashtra, with no pricing tiers, no revenue generated from citizens, and content owned and maintained by the Maharashtra MyGov Cell. Distribution is exclusively through the web portal at maharashtra.mygov.in on a self-serve basis, with outreach amplified via official social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram) and earned media coverage. The target user is any citizen of Maharashtra, and the platform's strategic intent is to enable Jan Bhagidari (public participation) in state governance.

Direct peers

• vTaiwan: Government-led online deliberation platform for citizen consultation on regulatory drafts in Taiwan. Comparable as a public-sector initiative using structured online engagement to bring citizen voice into policy, similar in intent to the 'Mi Mukhyamantri Boltoy' channel.
• MyGov India: National-level parent platform of MyGov Maharashtra, operating the same Drupal-based citizen engagement model (Do, Discuss, Poll, Talk, Blog, Groups) for citizens across India. It is the most direct comparable as it shares the technology, design philosophy, and institutional backing of the Maharashtra instance.
• Delhi MyGov: State-level MyGov portal for Delhi, built on the same NIC-hosted Drupal infrastructure as MyGov Maharashtra. Direct peer as another sub-national implementation of the same national platform template.
• CONSUL (Madrid): Open-source civic participation platform originally built for Madrid's city government. It supports citizen proposals, debates, and participatory budgeting — a direct functional analogue to MyGov Maharashtra's discussion, polling, and task modules.
• Decidim (Barcelona): Open-source participatory democracy platform used by Barcelona and many other cities for citizen proposals, debates, voting, and assemblies. Comparable to MyGov Maharashtra as both enable structured citizen input into governance through similar engagement mechanisms.
• Karnataka MyGov: State-level MyGov portal for Karnataka, another peer implementation of the national MyGov platform on shared NIC infrastructure. Direct comparable as a sibling state engagement portal.

Emerging players

• CitizenLab: Belgian SaaS civic engagement platform used by municipalities worldwide for idea collection, polling, and participatory budgeting.

Broad incumbents

• CivicPlus: US-based vendor offering a broad portfolio of government websites, civic engagement, and 311/issue-reporting modules for municipalities. Comparable as an established player in the broader government citizen engagement software market, though not specifically participatory democracy focused.

Regional players

• Bang the Table: Australia-headquartered civic engagement SaaS used by local and state governments for online consultations, surveys, and community panels. Comparable as a regional citizen engagement vendor serving similar government client use cases as MyGov Maharashtra.

Others

• Decidim Free Software Association: Association that maintains the Decidim open-source codebase used by many municipal governments. Adjacent peer because it provides the underlying technology infrastructure for several civic engagement platforms that compete functionally with MyGov Maharashtra.
