The 'Performance Dashboard' let's readers access the performance of the flagship schemes and programmes announced by the Government of India. 

The performance of all these schemes or programmes are as of July 15. 

Considering the data provided by the website, it seems like some of the programmes that were launched only a few months ago, show remarkable results. 

According to the website, over 130 million light bulbs were distributed on a subsidised rate under the recently launched April 30 this year. 

The much-touted Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana that promises a bank account for every household in India, lists that Rs 39,939 crore were deposited in these accounts. 

Driven by the ‘Better India’ dream, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana provides one bank account for every single household in India and is also a zero-balance account. 

It reported an amount of Rs 39,939 crore that was deposited in these accounts.

One of the government's key focus areas include equipping every village in the country with electricity. 

So far, as the numbers go, 8,870 villages were provided with electricity, the website says. 

Under the Bharat Broadband Network Ltd. (BBNL), which is a telecom network provided by the government, the Transforming India website said that 53,557 Gram Panchayats that have now been connected by optical fibre. 

Under the Skill India or Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, the government has vowed to skill one crore Indians in the next three years, by 2020, to make them employable. 

The performance dash says, till July 17, 2016, over 19 lakh (19,72,765) people have been trained.

The government's LPG subsidy was causing a drain on the exchequer. Under the #GiveItUp movement announced in May last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had requested people to give up their subsidies so that they could be passed on to those you needed it the most. The movement was kept voluntary with only the PM requesting the public to give up their subsidies at regular intervals. 

Under the Mudra Yojana, more than 42 million loans (42,149,417), have been sanctioned for financing small and micro units. 

The Jansuraksha Yojana, launched to provide insurance to those below the poverty line, has seen over 128 million people (128,874,030) being insured under the scheme.
