eSwaraj is one of the applications developed as part of Panchayat Enterprise Suite (PES) under e-panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) of Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR).
eSwaraj aims to bring in better transparency and strengthening the e-Governance in Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) across the country through decentralized planning, progress reporting and work-based accounting.

Furthermore, eSwaraj will assist in enhancing the credibility of Panchayats which would induce greater devolution of funds to PRIs as well as provide a platform for effective monitoring by higher authorities.
