INTRODUCTION

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Public Grievance Redressal System is a web based application. The application is developed mainly for the use of public people for submitting their grievance to various sectors in the society.

The project is based on three users: Admin, User and Head of Department (HOD). User is mainly focused on submitting their grievance. Admin can assign the HODs to the departments, to which, user can submit their complaint. The HOD of each department will first approve the complaint and solves the user complaint. The public citizens nowadays face a lot of problem to give their complaints to the government. They have to directly meet the higher authorities, which takes lots of time. By using this system, instead of going directly, people can submit their grievance through online.

The complaint that is registered by the user will be received by the respective departments of the government. The particular employee of that department will resolve the problem.

This project has three modules: Admin, User and Head of department. Admin can login to the system with username and password. He can view all the user profiles registered. The admin has the rights to add the HODs of each department to which grievances can be send. Admin can view whole report of total grievances received and those that are solved. First of all, user has to register into the system to submit the complaint. User can login to the system using username and password. They have the option to update their profile. Users can select the particular department for which they have complaint and then register their grievance by filling the form. They can also check the status of the complaint. The department head can login to the system and view the grievance that has been received. HOD has to approve the complaint first. Then a complaint id will be send to the user. After processing the complaint he can change the status of the complaint.

Purpose of the project is,

  • Submission of grievance through online.
  • To get faster response.
  • Action taken within less time.

Those systems are studied and new things are found and added to Public Grievance Redressal System.

2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM

The current system is dealing on the manual basis. People have to go directly to the concerned departments to give their complaint. It needs huge amount of paper works to maintain the complaint details. A huge expenditure and lots of time is spent in the existing system. Tracking and retrieving of data from bulk of papers is a difficult process.

2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEM

The proposed system is an online web application. This system is proposed to control and avoid the limitations of the existing system. The goal of proposed system is to increase the efficiency by speeding up the process and bringing down the work load. It also overcomes the huge expense that is obtained in the existing system. The major activities of this Grievance system are to receive various types of grievance from citizens, provide speedy processing of grievance received, updating the status of complaint, informing the citizens about the action taken and generating reports.

2.4 FEASIBILTY STUDY

Feasibility study is used to check whether the particular system is practical in the real world. It studies the influence of the system in the organization during the development stage of the system. It also checks whether the system efficiently uses its resources. If the impact of the system in organization is acceptable, then the system can be considered as feasible system.

Public Grievance Redressal System uses these ways of feasibility study such as Technical feasibility, Economic feasibility, Legal feasibility, Operational feasibility and Scheduling feasibility.

Technical feasibility

The system should be technically feasible. The system should be designed and developed by the person with good technical knowledge. The Public Grievance Redressal System meets all technical aspects need for the system. It uses front end as Java, back end as MySQL. It uses Eclipse as the IDE and Windows 8 as operating system. This application needs an internet connection to use processor Pentium 4 and RAM with 1GB or more.
