Prajaseva Department meant to hear, redress citizens’ grievances, says U.T. Khader
Minister U.T. Khader inaugurated the Praja Seva Andolana in Puttur, a government initiative designed to address citizen grievances. The department aims to resolve long-standing administrative issues, such as land titles and school staffing, within legal frameworks.
Why it matters
It represents an attempt to improve government accountability and public service delivery through a dedicated grievance-redressal mechanism.
Dakshina Kannada District in-charge Minister U.T. Khader on Saturday said the government has established the Department of Prajaseva to hear and redress the grievances of every citizen.
He was speaking after inaugurating the district-level Praja Seva Andolana in Puttur. The government’s objective is to deliver the benefits of every government scheme to every citizen. For this, the Prajaseva Department has been formed to listen to the grievances of the people and provide appropriate solutions. He said the objective of the andolana is to scrutinise and dispose of the applications from the public in accordance with the rules.
Mr. Khader noted that some issues could not be resolved even after several years. Applications received during the andolana should be considered and solutions provided within the scope of the law. Serious thought should be given to solving problems, he said, urging officials to examine issues with patience and tolerance to serve people.
