Citizen services: how to get things done
MGNREGA (now VB-G RAM G) job card and work
- Apply for a job card at your gram panchayat with photos and Aadhaar of the adult members of the household. An old MGNREGA job card with e-KYC done stays valid until the new Gramin Rozgar Guarantee Card is issued.
- Ask for work in writing and keep the receipt. You now have a right to at least 125 days a year, and if work doesn’t come in the set time, you’re entitled to an unemployment allowance. Check attendance and wage payments on nrega.nic.in with your job card number.
Old-age, widow and disability pension
- Apply online on Social pension portal (SSPY) (sspy-up.gov.in) or through a Jan Seva Kendra (CSC). Attach proof of age (or of your spouse’s death, or of disability), an income certificate, Aadhaar and your bank passbook.
- In villages, the Chakiya Block Development Officer (BDO) verifies the application. Once it’s sanctioned, the pension goes straight into your bank account.
Ration card
- To get a new ration card or add family members, apply on Food and Civil Supplies, UP (fcs.up.gov.in) or through a Jan Seva Kendra (CSC). The card is made out in the name of the eldest woman of the household.
- In villages, Chakiya block officials check the application and the supply inspector or District Supply Officer approves it.
Income, caste and domicile certificates
- Apply at a Jan Seva Kendra (CSC) or on e-District UP (edistrict.up.gov.in). Take your Aadhaar, a photo and a signed self-declaration.
- The application goes to your Tehsil. The Lekhpal checks it in the village and the Revenue Inspector (Kanungo) sends the report on.
- The Tehsildar / SDM issues a digitally signed certificate, usually within 7–15 working days. Track it online with your application number.
Complaints and Right to Information (RTI)
- Complain about any government service on IGRS (Jansunwai) (jansunwai.up.nic.in) or call 1076. It goes to the officer responsible, and you can track what happens online.
- To find out what the panchayat spent and on which works, file an RTI application (₹10 fee) with the Public Information Officer at Chakiya block. Works and payments are also listed on egramswaraj.gov.in.
Portals and procedures change, so check with the office before you apply. If a link has moved, look for the service by name on the portal's home page.
