Janmanrega for Android

Janmanrega — a mobile tool for MGNREGA information

Janmanrega is an Android application developed to help citizens access information about assets created under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). The app was produced through a partnership between the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) in Hyderabad. It is distributed free of charge on Android devices.

Main functions and data available

• Browse more than 1.78 crore geotagged MGNREGS assets visualized on ISRO’s Bhuvan mapping interface, with attribute details for each record.
• Receive and send ground-level information to improve the flow of scheme-related updates between citizens and administrators.
• Use the app as a quick communication channel to reach people in remote locations with minimal delay.
• Monitor transparency and stay informed about public works and asset status to encourage community participation.

Why the app is useful

Janmanrega promotes accountability and citizen awareness, two key ingredients for effective implementation of rural employment and asset-creation programs. By making detailed, location-based information readily available, the app supports public oversight and helps local residents track progress and verify records.

Availability and alternatives

The app is available for free on Android platforms. If you’re exploring other options, consider the MGNREGA Mobile App, which also provides related features and is available at no cost.
