Jan SunWai Samadhan

• During the course of public-government interface, or interaction, the citizen may feel wronged—whether real or supposed. This forms valid grounds of complaint. Also to promote participative Democracy, capturing demands and suggestions from citizens is important. In Uttar Pradesh initially initiatives to redress grievances were isolated initiatives at different levels like CM Office, District, Tehsils and State Government Departments, running on different platforms and had no interlinking. Some good work like PG portal was started at Central Government level, while Madhya Pradesh also took lead through its CM Helpline Call centre. Rajasthan, Orissa, etc have also started their own online systems for grievance redressal. But no notable work has been done in recent past. Also nowhere we found a comprehensive System which could bring all redressal services of the state onto a single platform and also which has complete e-flow from top level to lowest level with full transparency.
• The state-of-the-art IGRS is low cost and low maintenance project and is designed, developed and maintained in-house by NIC.

Concerned department officers use their credentials to upload ATR’s against grievance. Citizen can use reference number to track progress of grievances, send reminder & also for giving feedback after disposal. Monitoring officers can evaluate disposal using app.
