The Government of India, in its efforts to provide more responsive and citizen-friendly services to the public, has set up Public Grievance Redress Machinery in each of its Ministries/Departments. A senior officer has been designated as Director of Grievances in each of these Ministries/Departments. The designated officer will generally be available for meeting complainants from 1000 hours to 1300 hours every Wednesday. These officers have been vested with the powers to call for files/ papers relating to public grievances in cases in which a decision is pending for more than two months and take a decision with the approval of the Secretary/ Head of the Department of the Ministry/Department concerned. Members of Public are advised to address their grievances to the Director of Grievances of the concerned Ministry/Department for redress.
Since the public grievances are redressed in a decentralized manner, it is requested that the grievances may first be taken up with the Ministry/Department concerned. In case the grievance is not redressed within the prescribed time frame, only then the same may be sent to the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances or Directorate of Public Grievances. The list of Directors of Grievances is as follows:-
