Embracing cutting-edge technology
The National Human Rights Commission plays a pivotal role in India’s journey towards an e-governance
paradigm. As a statutory body, committed to safeguarding human rights, the NHRC harnesses the
potential of e-governance to promote transparency, accountability, and accessibility in its operations.
By embracing e-governance, the NHRC not only adapts to the digital age but also demonstrates
its commitment to effective governance and the protection of citizens’ fundamental rights in an
increasingly interconnected and data-driven world.
Complaint Management System
The NHRC has taken significant steps to modernize and streamline its complaint handling process
through the implementation of an e-complaint management system. This digital platform represents
a substantial leap forward in making the NHRC’s services more accessible, efficient, and responsive to
the needs of individuals seeking to address human rights violations. With the e-complaint management
system, individuals can now register and file complaints online, eliminating the need for physical
visits to the NHRC office. There is also a facility of online registration of complaints through Common
Service Centers spread across the country. For online registration of complaints, a common link has
been developed where the complainant may register the complaint with the NHRC or with the SHRC.
This development has greatly enhanced the accessibility of the NHRC’s services, especially for those
in remote areas or with mobility constraints. It empowers citizens to report incidents of human rights
violations promptly and without geographical barriers.
