New Delhi, Oct 21 (KNN) To ensure easier lodging of complaints, a mobile application for the Centralized Public Grievances Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) portal of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) was launched here today.
The Union Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh launched the app.
In this direction a further step has been taken by providing M-access to citizens through mobile phones. A Quick Response (QR) code has been provided on the pg-portal which can be scanned on to the smart phone after which grievances can be sent from the smart phone directly on to CPGRAMS, an official release said.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said the goal is that the Administration should be citizen centric, transparent and responsive. He said more than six lakh public grievances have been settled since last year and the data will form the resource material to improve governance.
The Minister said he hoped the common public will make maximum use of the mobile app since the mobile phone has emerged as the easiest way of communication from anywhere across the country.
In his address, Secretary, DARPG and Secretary, Department of Pensions and Pensioners’ Welfare, Devendra Chaudhary said the mobile app will not only allow lodging of grievances, but the people can also track the status of the redress of their grievance. The DARPG is also carrying out analysis of the grievances and a systematic response is being worked out on how best to address the grievances, he added.
The Mobile App for the CPGRAMS is another innovative initiative of the DARPG, the nodal agency to formulate policy guidelines for citizen-centric governance in the country, redress of citizens’ grievances, being one of the most important initiatives of the department.
The DARPG has been making endeavours to bring excellence in public service delivery and to redress grievances of citizens in a meaningful manner by effectively coordinating with different Ministries and Departments of the Government and trying to eliminate the causes of grievances.
