Why is the project unique?

Definitely JJSK represents a completely new approach in the arena of public grievance redressal as it is mobile/land line phone based system (now a days almost each and every person or his relative or his neighbor has mobile or land line phone connection) so that a citizen without wasting his time to approach the concerned Government official can register his grievance through his/any mobile or land line phone from anywhere in the district and at anytime and also gets the quick and effective response/disposal for his grievance registered. The innovation was very much needed in the present scenario wherein an aggrieved citizen has to travel from his base location to either to Block headquarters, Tahsil headquarters, District headquarters to meet the concerned officer/staff to register his grievance or to give his application for disposal. This is time consuming, costly, cumbersome and exploitative process and the monitoring and disposal is also very tedious and ineffective and also the concerned citizen is hardly intimated regarding the disposal status of his grievance. JJSK by providing quick, easy, accessible (registering grievances through the mobile and land line phone), free of cost services, responsive, quick action and effective tracking of the grievances, keeping constant touch with the concerned citizen and intimating the citizen (on his mobile or land line phone) has successfully revolutionised the whole system of public grievance redressal system in the District Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India. JJSK was selected and recommended by the U.P. Govt for the Prime Minister Award for excellence in the Public Administration for the year 2010. Jhansi Jan Suvidha Kendra, Jhansi has been awarded with prestigious ‘NASSCOM Social Innovation Honours 2010’ by NASSCOM foundation under “ICT led innovation in e-Governance” category in recognition of passion and commitment for e-governance and for aiming for the highest standard of excellence to help bring the government closer to the citizen.
