The Government is using Next Generation AI-enabled technology to enhance the capacity of the Centralised Public Grievance Redressal and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) portal, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said today.
A Data Strategy Unit has also been established for root cause analysis of grievances and bringing systemic reforms, he said.
This information was given by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said these reforms have resulted in a decrease in pendency and an improvement in the average time of disposal of Public Grievances. Ministries/ Departments have disposed of more than 1 lac cases/per month for the last 16 months continuously. The pendency of PG cases in central Ministries/Departments stands at an all-time low of 0.63 lac cases.
Among the 10 Step reforms to ensure effective redressal of public grievances formulated by CPGRAMS include breaking language barriers by making CPGRAMS available in all scheduled languages, benchmarking performances of Ministries/Departments, States/UTs through Grievance Redressal and Assessment Index (GRAI), publication of Monthly reports for both the Central Ministries/Departments and States/UTs, Feedback Call Centre for citizen feedback on quality of redressal, integration of various grievance portals of Central Ministries/States with CPGRAMS and expanding CPGRAMS outreach in rural India through Common Service Centers (CSC).
Dr. Jitendra Singh said redressal of Public Grievances was also one of the thrust areas of the Special campaign conducted by the Government on institutionalizing Swachhata and reducing pendency in Government offices from 2 Oct -31 Oct. About 5,21,958 (99.4%) public grievances have been disposed of during the Special Campaign 2023.
The Union Minister said, that in the year 2023 CPGRAMS portal has received 19.45 lac citizen grievances (Up to 30 November 2023) and about 19.60 lac grievances including backlog grievances have been disposed of.
Centralised Public Grievance Redressal and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) is a web-based portal where citizens can file their grievances pertaining to the Ministries/Departments of Government of India or States/UTs. Every Ministry and State has role-based access to this system. CPGRAMS receives about 20 lakh grievances on average every year from the public.
