Janmanrega – Citizen-centric Mobile Application for MGNREGS Assets

Janmanrega is a Citizen-centric Mobile Application (CCMA) that has been developed by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) in collaboration with National Informatics Centre (NIC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC, Hyderabad). This Android application is a significant initiative towards good governance that aims to improve the quality of public services. The application connects citizens with the system and acts as an instrument for information flow to and from the ground-level. The program is free to use and is available on Android platforms.

Janmanrega allows citizens to locate already geotagged more than 1.78 crore Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme’s (MGNREGS) assets within Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Bhuvan Map Interface along with their attributes. Citizen awareness is a key factor in efficient, effective and transparent execution of the scheme, while the program rests on participation principles. The mobile phone acts as a mode of communication with people at farther places, with greater ease and lesser time.

Overall, Janmanrega is a highly useful application for those who want to stay informed about the MGNREGS assets and maintain transparency in public services.
