New Delhi, 10th June: Marking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s completion of 11 years in office, the NaMo app has launched the Jan Man Survey, an interactive platform enabling citizens to directly contribute to national discourse. The initiative has garnered significant public engagement, registering over five lakh responses from across India within just 26 hours of its launch.
The government stated that the “unique survey is designed to actively engage people in the democratic process, empowering them to express their opinions on key national issues and government initiatives.” Prime Minister Modi had earlier urged citizens to participate, posting on X on Monday, the day he took the oath of office for his third term in 2024: “Your views matter the most! Take part in this survey on the NaMo App and let us know how you view India’s growth journey over the last 11 years.”
The survey covers a broad spectrum of issues, ranging from governance and national security to youth empowerment and cultural pride. The government emphasized that the Jan Man Survey exemplifies the Narendra Modi government’s commitment to participatory governance by inviting direct input from citizens on major policy areas and developmental initiatives. Hosted on the NaMo app, this survey allows people to influence future policies through their feedback. Participation in the survey is user-friendly and easily accessible via the NaMo app.
