Praja Seva campaign launched in Hanagal
The Karnataka government has launched the 'Praja Seva' campaign in Haveri district to resolve public grievances at the local level. The initiative aims to reduce the need for citizens to travel to state capitals for administrative issues by holding regular meetings with district officials.
Why it matters
This reflects a push for decentralized governance and improved administrative efficiency in rural Indian districts.
Sugar and Textiles Minister and Haveri district in-charge Minister Rudrappa Lamani launched the Praja Seva campaign at the Sri Kumareshwar Mutt in Hanagal, Haveri district, on Saturday.
Speaking after inaugurating the programme, organised under the theme ‘Your grievance, our solution’, Mr. Lamani said the campaign would provide a direct platform for interaction between the public and the government. People should not be forced to travel repeatedly to Bengaluru or district headquarters to get their problems resolved, he said.
Officials should immediately address minor issues that can be settled at the Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner and Tahsildar levels, he said. “It may not be possible to resolve every problem at once, but issues that can be settled at the taluk, sub-division, and district levels must be addressed without delay,” he said.
