eGovernment Foundation is working with Corporation of Chennai for the last 6 years. The Public Grievance and redressal system is live since Feb’09. Over the last 6 years, more than 2.25 complaints have been registered in the system, 2.15 lakh complaints have been redressed.

The system categorizes the complaint into various categories and routes the complaint to the concerned officials based on the complaint type and the location of the complaint.

• De-duplication
• Trend Detection / ARIMA / Time Series Modeling for alerting

Complaints filed on the site by multiple people may refer to the same problem. The task is to find and model problems instead of complaints.

The Corporation is looking for kind of Alerts and notification system along with the ability to forward the alert to the concerned employee for taking action. The users of the system would be:

• Senior executives who will receive the alerts
• Employee to whom the alerts and notifications will be forwarded for taking action.
