The Jan Soochna Portal (JSP), launched by the Rajasthan government in 2019, aims to enhance access to information about welfare schemes for beneficiaries. It aligns with the Right to Information (RTI) Act's Section 4(2), promoting proactive disclosure. JSP provides details on government schemes through web, mobile, and kiosks. It enhances transparency, centralizes governance information, and aids in social audit. However, there are certain challenges such as the digital divide, data accuracy, and infrastructure issues. Hence, JSP requires awareness campaigns, data integrity measures, cybersecurity, infrastructure development, and interdepartmental coordination for effective implementation.

The Jan Soochna Portal is open to all citizens of Rajasthan. It is particularly beneficial forcitizens who are seeking information about government schemes and services they are eligible for.
In 2019, the Rajasthan government introduced the "Jan Soochna Portal" with the goal of facilitating information access for beneficiaries of welfare schemes. This portal marks the first public information platform of its kind.
The Jan Soochna Portal seeks to empower the public by offering information about government authorities and departments, providing them with valuable access to information. This portal is designed to be accessible to the general population and encourages social auditing alongside its primary goal of making information available to the public.
Information related to Public Distribution System (Ration), Swachh Bharat Mission (Sanitation Beneficiaries), e-Panchayat, Social Security & Pension Beneficiary, Mahatma Gandhi NREGA, District Mineral Foundation trust, and Ayushman Bharat is available under JSP.
To make JSP successful, there is need to ensure that the citizens are aware of the portal and its functionalities. Data integrity is also vital for building user trust. Hence, Cybersecurity measures, including regular audits are needed to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. Infrastructure development such as enhancing internet access coupled with interdepartmental coordination is necessary to ensure seamless data integration. Other state governments should be encouraged to emulate Rajasthan's initiative which aims for inclusive governance. The Jan Soochna Portal is a commendable step towards promoting transparency, equity, and good governance in Rajasthan. JSP showcases the transformative potential of digital governance for citizen empowerment and good governance.
