systemic reforms, an online dashboard has been developed. Systemic reforms and their
monitoring metrics, catering to grievance issues are highlighted on the dashboard. This enables
Cabinet Secretariat, DARPG and concerned ministries departments to monitor implementation of
these reforms. From time to time the version of CPGRAM is being updated taking into account
the problems faced by the citizens and the system itself. At present the version 6 of CPGRAMS
is in operation from 2018 which provides for one time registration. It also enables the citizen to
see all the grievances lodged by him and their status on a single screen.
The Department also coordinates the Citizen Charter and Information and Facilitation
Counters (IFCs) initiative of the government of India. With the objective of improving public
service delivery and making governments citizen-centric, an assessment improvement
framework called “Sevottam” has been developed Support is provided to ministries departments
and also to state governments to introduce the Sevottam framework for better service delivery.
