Gujarat Samadhan is a public grievance portal, launched by the Government of Gujarat. Samadhan allows citizens to lodge complaints related to public services, government offices, and public authorities (departments) on any subject. If your complaint is not resolved then file an appeal to the Grievance Redressal Officer.
The Gujarat (Right of Citizens to Public Services) Act, 2013 of the Gujarat government lays down an obligation upon every public authority to provide public services within the prescribed time limit and provide for a grievance redressal mechanism to citizens for non-compliance and the matters connected with public services. The rights include issuance of certificates, licences, permits, sanctions, approvals, etc.
The act also specifies the designated officers, the timeline, the fees and the penalty for each service. If the rights are violated, lodge a grievance through the Samadhan portal.
