Jan Soochna | Empowering Citizens through Transparent Governance
In an era of increasing digitalization, the Rajasthan Government has taken a pioneering step toward transparent governance with the launch of the Jan Soochna Portal. Designed to bridge the information gap between the state and its citizens, this portal ensures that government schemes, entitlements, and beneficiary data are readily accessible to the public—without the need to file an RTI.
Launched in September 2019, this initiative aligns with the Right to Information Act (RTI) 2005, specifically Section 4(2), which emphasizes proactive disclosure of information by public authorities.
What is Jan Soochna Portal?
The Jan Soochna Portal (jansoochna.rajasthan.gov.in) is a one-stop digital platform that provides real-time information on government schemes, services, and department-level data. It allows every citizen, regardless of their literacy or digital skills, to easily access scheme benefits and eligibility details online.
