Meri Sadak application was introduced as part of the government\s Citizen Feedback system. The application was specifically meant for grievance redressal relating to roads built under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). The application allows the citizens to register a complaint regarding the pace of work, quality of work, land disputes etc. for a PMGSY road along with photographs of the site. The complaints are handled by the respective State Quality Coordinators (SQCs) of the Nodal Department in the State Governments.
Launched in 2015, the Mobile App has been revamped with a view to empower the citizens and make it more user friendly. The enhanced version of the application includes the below features:
