Problem
Citizens often struggle to find reliable, non-partisan information about government actions, policies, and public services, especially across different administrative levels. Existing platforms provide fragmented data and lack tools for coordinated citizen collaboration, limiting transparency and public participation in democratic processes.
Solution
Kartvya offers a geo-enabled knowledge graph combined with a social networking layer that aggregates institutional, verifiable information on civic subjects across union, state, and local governments. The platform presents this data in a timeline format and allows users to follow specific subjects, regions, officials, organizations, and fellow citizens, delivering a personalized feed of relevant updates. Built-in collaboration tools enable users to discuss, organize, and act on public service issues and policy matters within their geographic context. By maintaining an apolitical stance and focusing on institutional sources, Kartvya aims to enhance accountability, transparency, and citizen participation in governance.
