  11. IMPLEMENTATION OF PRAYAS • Effective Public Grievance rederssal is the top most priority of the District Administration. Deputy Commissioner Kathua (J&K) has developed a platform Known as “PRAYAS” with the technical support of NIC District Centre Kathua. • PRAYAS is a very honest effort to redress grievance of the remote and rural people like Bani, Lohai-malhar, Basohli, Billawar and other remote areas who could not afford to visit the District HQ to meet Deputy Commissioner. As it will cost more than Rs 500 to a person who has to come to Kathua from Bani tehsil to simple lodge his grievance. And if he is not able to meet Deputy commissioner on that day (as he may be on tour/meeting etc) then the poor complainant has to stay for 1 more day at District HQ which will again cost Rs 400-500 more. So, the complainant has to spent Rs 800-1000 and also his/her 3-4 days may be wasted to simply lodge his/ her grievance. • A common man of remote area is not familiar with government culture, procedure and the schemes being implemented for his benefits. • He has to visit from pillar to post for varied services of district administration. • He comes to know about non-completion/completeness of his application after a long delay. • A common man hesitates in visiting the Government offices due to which he becomes dependent over other people
