ABSTRACT

Gramvantage: A Revolution from the Roots

In a world where corruption seeps into every level of governance, it’s easy to feel powerless.
How can one person stand against a system so deeply flawed? The answer lies not in standing
alone but in standing together—and that’s where Gramvantage comes in.

Imagine a small village where people have long endured broken roads, faulty water systems,
and unfinished projects. They complain, but their voices fade into the bureaucratic void.
Promises are made, but transparency remains a distant dream. Now, picture a different
reality—one where every citizen has a voice, where accountability isn’t just an ideal but a digital
certainty.

Gramvantage is bringing the digital revolution to villages, empowering citizens like never before.
With just a few taps on their phone, anyone can file a complaint—be it about a neglected road, a
corrupt official, or an incomplete government project. They can even upload photos as proof.
The village secretary is given seven days to respond. If they fail, an automatic alert is sent to
higher authorities, ensuring that no complaint goes unnoticed.

But we’re not stopping at complaints. What if every citizen knew exactly how their village’s funds
were being used? With Gramvantage, every government-allocated budget is made visible to the
public. When a new project is proposed, local contractors can bid for it transparently. Once a
project is underway, the contractor must update milestones, each of which is reviewed and
approved by the village secretary. If anything seems off, citizens can flag concerns
immediately—because governance should be a two-way street.

And here’s the best part: every completed project is reviewed by the people it serves. These
reviews shape future decisions, ensuring that only the most accountable and efficient
contractors get the opportunity to build the village’s future.

In India, we’ve seen too many government projects fail at the village level—unfinished roads,
ghost schools, and wasted funds. Gramvantage is here to change that. Because when a village
rises, so does the nation. The revolution begins here.
PRE-EXISTING MODELS

empowered society. It has improved governance by developing digital infrastructure and

bills, apply for scholarships, and file complaints conveniently.

The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) ensures transparency in government procurement,


reducing corruption.

The Public Financial Management System (PFMS) enables citizens to track government
spending, ensuring funds reach the right beneficiaries.

The e-Office Initiative digitizes government workflows, reducing delays and improving
efficiency in public service delivery.

resolved).
4.​ If no response, the complaint is auto-escalated to higher officials.
5.​ Citizen gets real-time updates via app notifications or SMS.
6.​ After resolution, citizen gives feedback and rates the response quality.
