Jana Sunani Odisha is an integrated public grievance redressal system (IPGRS) launched by the Government of Odisha in 2013.

Jan Sunani covers almost all administrative and other departments, such as Revenue and Disaster Management, Odisha Police, Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water, Home, Higher Education, Health and Family Welfare, etc.
The Odisha Right to Public Services Act (ORTPS), 2012, has given the right to public services to residents of Odisha. They can access transparent, accountable, and time-bound public service delivery.
