Intelligent Grievance Monitoring System (IGMS) 2.0

Why in news?

• The Union Minister of State for Personnel has launched the Intelligent Grievance Monitoring System (IGMS) 2.0 public grievance portal.

About IGMS 2.0

• IGMS is an artificial intelligence (AI) driven Grievance Monitoring System. It aims to enhance the efficiency of the public grievance redressal process.
• Developed by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) in collaboration with IIT Kanpur.

Objectives

• Provide instant tabular analysis of Grievances Filed and disposed of. 
• Offer State-wise and district-wise Grievances Filed data.
• Offer Ministry-wise data.
• Enhance grievance redressal process with AI capabilities.

Significance

• In India, the common man raises around 20 lakh grievances annually on the CPGRAMS portal. However, manually classifying and monitoring these grievances is a challenging and time-consuming task. 
• Therefore, the launch of the IGMS 2.0 Dashboard will significantly expedite the grievance redressal process, enabling the concerned ministries and departments to respond more effectively.

About CPGRAMS

• Centralized Public Grievances Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) is a web based application that facilitates ministries or departments to receive, forward and monitor grievances.
• The system was developed by National Informatics Centre in association with Directorate of Public Grievances(DPG) and Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances(DARPG).
• The system provides online access to all citizens including those in Armed Forces personnel to report their grievances.
• It also allows the ministries to monitor the grievances and ensure their time-bound redressal.
