Karnataka to Launch 'Namma Seve' App Expanding Online Citizen Services and Feedback
The Karnataka government plans to expand its Praja Seve grievance redressal initiative by launching the 'Namma Seve' app before October 2, enabling citizens to access more services online and report issues like garbage and potholes. Currently, 2,300 of 2,456 services are online, with efforts to digitize the remaining ones. The app will feature AI to route applications correctly and introduce a star rating system for service satisfaction, holding officials accountable for low ratings or unjustified rejections under the Sakala Act framework.
