Abstract : India allocates substantial budgets for various schemes and development projects at the central, state, and local levels. However, there is often a lack of transparency in how these funds are allocated and spent, leading to inefficiencies and potential corruption. The proposed project seeks to address this issue by creating a comprehensive platform that provides citizens with easy access to information on budget allocation, utilization, and the progress of projects in their respective areas.  Objectives:  Enhance Transparency: Provide citizens with a user- friendly platform to access information on budget allocations and expenditures at the central, state, district, and village levels. Promote Accountability: Facilitate tracking of projects to ensure that allocated funds are utilized effectively and that work is progressing as planned. Reduce Corruption and Empower Citizens.  Project Features: Data Integration: Collaborate with organizations I like RTI Inia to collect and update data on budget allocations and expenditures from various government departments. User-Friendly Interface: Develop an intuitive web and mobile application that allows users to search for budget-related information by state, district, village, or specific area. Project Tracking,  Data Visualization: Easily understandable and insightful manner, including charts, graphs, and Maps.  Feedback Mechanism: Citizens can report issues, submit suggestions, and engage in discussions related to budget allocation and project implementation.  Implementation: The project will require collaboration with government agencies, NGOs, and RTI India to collect and verify budget-related data. It will also involve the development of a secure and scalable platform, which will require a team of software developers, data analysts, and user interface designers. The system's front end involves HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and the back end involves MySQL, JAVA/PYTHON.
