District Administrator Rajarshi Shah Engages with Citizens, Receives Petitions During Prajavani at Collectorate Conference Hall
Prajavani once again served as a vibrant platform for citizen engagement and governance in Telangana, as District Administrator Rajarshi Shah received petitions from residents across various regions. The event took place at the Public Complaints Department set up in the Collectorate Conference Hall on Monday.
As part of the ongoing citizen-centric initiative, Prajavani aims to resolve grievances effectively and transparently. On this occasion, Administrator Rajarshi Shah interacted personally with petitioners, listened to their concerns, and assured timely redressal through appropriate departments.
Strengthening Governance through Public Interaction
The Prajavani initiative, regularly organized by the state administration, reflects Telangana’s commitment to bringing governance closer to the people. Monday’s event saw a steady flow of petitioners from urban and rural areas alike, each hoping to find resolution for their issues — ranging from land records, welfare scheme delays, pension irregularities, infrastructure development requests, and more.
District Administrator Rajarshi Shah was seen attentively reviewing documents, engaging in detailed discussions, and directing concerned officials to initiate action. His approachable demeanor and prompt instructions reinforced the government’s mission to maintain transparency and accountability in public service delivery.
Real-time Redressal and Follow-Up Mechanisms
What sets Prajavani apart is its real-time response structure. Many petitions were acted upon immediately, with officers on standby to address cases or conduct field verification. In cases requiring more detailed review, Shah directed departments to submit status reports within specified timelines.
A senior official from the Public Grievance Cell commented, “Under Rajarshi Shah’s leadership, Prajavani has transformed into an effective forum where citizens feel truly heard. The atmosphere is professional, yet empathetic.”
Digital Monitoring and Accountability
To enhance efficiency, digital tracking systems were utilized during the event. Each petition was logged with a unique identification number, enabling both the petitioner and administration to monitor its progress.
This digital interface, integrated with the state-level CPGRAMS (Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System), ensures that cases are not lost in bureaucracy and that accountability is maintained at every stage.
Shah emphasized this point during a media interaction, stating, “Our aim is to combine human interaction with technology to ensure swift grievance redressal. Prajavani is not just an event; it is a bridge between administration and citizens.”

Inclusive and Accessible Platform
The Prajavani program prioritizes accessibility. Special arrangements were made to accommodate senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and those from remote areas. Volunteers assisted in form submissions, while translators helped non-Telugu-speaking attendees communicate their issues effectively.
One petitioner, a senior farmer from a nearby village, shared, “This is the first time my voice has reached the top official directly. I am confident my problem will be resolved.”
Collaborative Departmental Approach
What further strengthens Prajavani’s effectiveness is inter-departmental coordination. Officers from departments such as Revenue, Rural Development, Municipal Administration, and Welfare Services were present at the Collectorate. This ensured on-the-spot consultation and allowed Shah to take holistic decisions.
Several department heads committed to resolving specific issues within a week and scheduled follow-up visits to petitioner locations. This shows a shift towards a more field-responsive administrative model.
A Model for Other Districts
Rajarshi Shah’s proactive leadership and streamlined execution of Prajavani has earned praise not just locally, but from other districts and administrative bodies. His approach is being seen as a model for responsive governance — combining in-person interaction, technological support, and departmental synergy.
The presence of various official handles and news outlets — including @TelanganaCMO, @DARPG_GoI, @IASassociation, and @DCsofIndia — highlighted the attention this event garnered at the state and national level.
Future Plans and Feedback Mechanism
Speaking about the future of Prajavani, Shah announced plans to extend the program’s outreach through mobile grievance camps and scheduled visits to mandals and gram panchayats. Feedback forms were also distributed to petitioners to improve the service delivery model.
“We don’t just want to solve problems. We want to evolve this platform into a continuous learning process for better governance,” Shah concluded.
Conclusion
The Prajavani initiative under the leadership of District Administrator Rajarshi Shah represents the government’s genuine commitment to citizen welfare. By ensuring that every voice is heard and every complaint is addressed, it stands as a shining example of people-first governance in action.
In times when public trust in systems is crucial, such platforms reinforce the belief that governance is not distant or impersonal — but present, responsive, and empathetic.
