Jansuchna Portal: Digital Transparency at Your Fingertips | जनसूचना पोर्टल राजस्थान
India’s governance model is rapidly transforming through digitization, and Rajasthan has become a frontrunner in this journey with the launch of the Jansuchna Portal. This citizen-centric initiative is designed to bridge the information gap between the government and the people by offering transparent, accessible, and real-time data related to public welfare schemes and services.
In a country as diverse and vast as India, access to government schemes has traditionally been hindered by lack of awareness, bureaucracy, and middlemen. The Jansuchna Portal (जनसूचना पोर्टल) aims to change that narrative by placing information directly into the hands of the citizens.
What is the Jansuchna Portal?
Launched in September 2019 by the Government of Rajasthan, the Jansuchna Portal (https://jansoochna.rajasthan.gov.in/) is a public information portal built to provide comprehensive and consolidated data on various government schemes and initiatives.
The portal has been created in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, which mandates proactive disclosure of information by public authorities. In simple terms, the Jansuchna Portal is the government’s digital window to allow citizens to access data without the need for filing an RTI application.
“सूचना का अधिकार अब सिर्फ अधिकार नहीं, सुविधा भी बन गया है – जनसूचना पोर्टल इसका उदाहरण है।”
