Citizen Charter

Charter

Citizen Charter

The main objective of an organization's Citizen Charter is to improve the quality of public services. This is done by letting people know the mandate of concerned Ministry / Department / organization, how one can get in touch with its officials, what to expect by way of services and how to seek a remedy if something goes wrong. The citizen’s Character does not by itself create new legal rights, but it surely helps enforcing existing rights.
Citizen's Charter aims to improve public service by:-

  • Making establishment accountable and citizen friendly
  • Ensuring transparency and facilitating right to information
  • Taking measures to improve public service delivery
  • Adopting a stakeholder approach
  • Saving time of both service providers and consumers
  • Easily understand work flow of services offered
  • Know service delivery timelines
