CITIZENS’ CHARTER

 

INTRODUCTION

 

            Tamilnadu is leading in many Urban Sector reforms.  As part of its commitment to enhance the responsiveness and effectiveness of the civic services rendered by the urban local bodies, the State Government decided to introduce ‘Citizens Charter’ in all the urban local bodies in G.O.Ms. No. 58 MAWS Department dated 16.4.1998.  The first edition of the ‘Citizens Charter’ was released by all city municipal corporations and municipalities in the State in the year 1998-1999.  It has improved the transparency and effectiveness of the local body administration.  Based on the experience gained over the past few years and the feedback, it has been decided to bring this second edition of the ‘Citizens Charter’ with improved information to citizens to make every citizen’s interaction with the civic body easy, simple, hassle free and efficient and also ensuring accountability and transparency.

            This charter documents the citizen’s entitlement to municipal services, quality of services, quick access to information, stages to redressal of grievances and time bound.

            This charter also documents, apart from what we can offer the citizens, what the citizens can do to help us serve them better and what can be achieved if both of us join together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FOREWORD BY CHAIRPERSON

 

            The Municipal Council of Tiruvarur has adopted this second edition of citizen charter in its resolution no. 2562 dated 29.10.2004 with renewed commitment to provide efficient and prompt civic services to the citizens and with the fond hope that on their part, the citizens would respond and reciprocate in a positive way.

 

            We consider this as a charter of responsibilities for us in the Municipality, both elected representatives and officials, to make a sound and responsive administration to make the town clean, green and most live able for the citizens.

            The first edition of the citizen charter was only to give specific information to the people of this town on ensuring quick response to their needs and redressal of certain grievances.  Now, we are introducing on line complaint system for certain services and a three – step normal complaint redressal system for all other services to ensure quick and efficient redressal of grievances in a time bound manner.

 

 

            We shall acknowledge on the spot all complaints, returns, declarations, applications, intimations and all communications from the citizen.

            We invite citizens to use this charter to ensure better standards of service and bring to the notice of the concerned authorities, as listed, any failure or non-compliance of citizen’s charter.

 

            We invite greater participation, support and assistance from the citizens, which we value most.

            We strive each day to improve the quality of life of our citizens.
