Vision

From one city to a more accountable India.

We start with what is already public and expand one layer at a time: first more sources, then more places. The structure stays the same, so every new city can be compared with the last.

  1. Phase 0 · Live

    Chennai, on X.

    Grievances raised with the Greater Chennai Corporation through its public account on X, across all 200 wards.

  2. Phase 1 · Next

    Every public source in Chennai.

    Every publicly available grievance channel in the city, brought into one layer for Chennai.

    • GCC
    • TNEB
    • Water Board
    • Chennai Metro
    • More
  3. Phase 2

    Every district in Tamil Nadu.

    The same structure across all 38 districts, so a complaint in Madurai reads like one in Chennai.

  4. Phase 3

    Every state capital.

    The capitals of India’s 28 states, plus Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir, with grievance data standardised so cities can be compared on equal terms.

  5. Phase 4

    Every district in India.

    One public, comparable record of what people report, where, and whether it gets resolved.

What doesn’t change as we grow

What doesn’t change as we grow

Public data only.
Every source is one anyone could already look up. Publyq makes it usable.
One structure.
Every place is mapped the same way, down to its smallest unit, so any two can be compared.
Traceable.
Every number goes back to individual records. Nothing is estimated or synthetic.
