Regards Course Director (Gist of Book) Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System in Government of India  By Indian Institute of Public Administration(IIPA), New Delhi  And  Department of Administrative  Reforms and  Public  Grievances  Government of India I. Introduction The state of public grievances serves as a barometer to gauge the efficiency and effectiveness of the administrative processes and polices. Persistence of public grievances in any administrative system speaks of a wary state of administration. The absence of any record of public grievances can, however, indicate a worse scenario. For, grievances may remain unacknowledged despite being of a serious nature; these may finally assume unmanageable proportions and expose the system to a legitimacy crisis. Both timely ventilation and redress of grievances are therefore a serious concern of any citizen friendly administration. At the apex level, there are primarily two designated nodal agencies in the Central Government for handling grievances: (i) the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, and (ii) the Directorate of Public Grievances, Cabinet Secretariat. A Standing Committee of Secretaries for Grievance Redressal, headed by the Cabinet Secretary, conducts review of grievance redressal mechanism of different Ministries/Departments of Government of India. The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) has undertaken initiatives in the fields of administrative reforms and public grievances in the Government, aimed at the delivery of citizen-centric administration and quality public services in order to improve governance. The main responsibility of the DARPG is to lay down broad policy guidelines for the institutionalization of grievance redress system in the Ministries/ Departments/ Organization. The Department is not engaged in substantive redress of grievances, which may arise from various agencies of the government across the country. Since most grievances arise at field level, their actual redress is expected to come from the agencies functioning at the local level. The Directorate of Public Grievances was set up in the Cabinet Secretariat in 1988 based on the review of the public grievances redress machinery in Government of India carried out in 1987. Envisaged as an appellate body investigating grievances selectively with regard to complaints where the complainant had failed to get redress at the hands of the internal machinery and the hierarchical authorities, initially the Directorate looked into individual complaints pertaining to four Central Government Departments which were found to be relatively more prone to public complaints. Subsequently, other Departments having larger public interface were added to its purview. read more IAS Exams Online Coaching. Books for Civil Services Examinations ©2013 www.upscportal.com
