Government of India takes another step as a buildup to its e-governance initiative. I’m talking about this portal from Indian Govt. which aimed at providing the citizens with a platform for redress of their grievances. The policy guidelines for citizen-centric governance are formulated by DAR&PG (Department of Administrative Reforms And Public Grievances). It’s a Nodal agency in India which is responsible for the timely redress / settlement of citizens’ grievances. With a view to ensure prompt and effective redress to the grievances, a number of instructions have been issued by DAR&PG from time to time.

How this system works?

Grievances Redress System

As stated on the website the whole process could take 2 months duration which I believe should not be more than one month. But it’s better late than never. This initiative is a welcome step and hope it will be able to redress the public grievances effectively and timely.

I guess its going to be a big leap.

“The
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been caught in an embarrassing situation with
a Gujarat MP Babubhai Katara being held for trying to take another woman on his
wife’s passport on a flight to Toronto.”
Wow, how proud I am as an Indian to hear this where the MPs are doing
such misdeed.

Perhaps,
I’d never understand why these kinds of politicians keeps India
downgrading and shaming every time. He should be kicked out of Parliament as
soon as possible.

I
don’t understand why in a country like India, the largest democracy of World,
where people have liberty to elect their leaders and express their views, these
kinds of peoples get the white collar job. It’s not the party who is corrupted.
More or less each and every party has same issues, ethics and code. It’s the people
who made party respectful. Then, how come corrupt peoples/leaders get in those
high standards Political Parties?

I
guess, we all know the answer. People should decide to whom they choose much
before this kind of people get the higher position rather than blaming the
system and Govt. later.

This
news will surely hit the BJP fame and this is when it has started gaining its
lost glory over a period of time.
