Someone is honestly there for nation’s improvement

Each one of us as a responsible citizen must have at least once blamed or cursed local authorities for irregularities in terms of roads, cleanliness, street lights, child labor etc but how many of us actually came forward for improving the situation.
There is actually a social program that works privately in order to improve conditions of Indian cities known as Changebhai.in. The firm actually acts as a link between citizens and local authorities so that various issues reach the concerned people in the government.
The process of lodging a complaint after registering on website is very simple one and doesn’t cost a single penny. The complainants have to just upload an image reflecting the concerned issue along with location info and details regarding the complaint. The number of solved and pending queries are also mentioned on the webpage. The issues can be varied including waste in your locality, overcharging and adulteration by retailers, cutting of trees illegally and other issues which trouble you as a citizen.
These issues can also be discussed by logging into social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook thereby making it more interactive and user friendly.
That’s not all, a smartphone app lovers can also install the mobile app ‘ChangeBhai Report Social Issue’ on operating systems including Windows, iOS, Android or Blackberry OS.
On a bit larger level, there is also provision of filing RTI (Right to information) using their services in case no resolution occurs from government side in spite of regular attempts to solve any menace. This concept was initiated in December 2013 and has already received honors like Leap Innovation Award 2013 and became finalist of Big online Business Idea at NDTV Profit.
But this is just an inception of a great idea. Actual victory will be when each one of us will use the tool in our hand (smartphone) and report the irregularities from our neighborhood on regular basis and consequently we will get a much better version of the nation we live in.
