What is CPGRAMS?

Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) is one of the leading measures formulated by the Indian Government to address the public issues. The main objective of this system is to receive complaints from the public, filter them according to seriousness and urgency, sending them to the concerned government departments or agencies and coordinating with the immediate process of redressal.

Functions of the System

CPGRAMS is regularised as a grievance management system performing the following functions for the welfare of the general public:

  • Receives and addresses consumer complaints regarding different products and schemes offered by the central government.
  • Forwarding different grievances to the concerned government departments for further processing.
  • Evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the grievance process/machinery of each and every concerned agency.
  • Contrives proper policy guidelines in order to ensure the working of a citizen-centric governance in the country.
  • Forseeing the areas of dissatisfaction, identifying where the organisations are not maintaining transparency for the benefit of the consumers and intervening to help achieve better in terms of satisfaction.
  • Conducting timely review of laws, procedures, rules and regulations with the motive of making the entire process transparent and citizen friendly.
  • Introduces effectively operating facilitation centres for the citizens.
  • Aims to provide a consolidated platform for the citizens to seek redressal of their grievances.
