🇮🇳 NyayaSetu 2.0 (न्यायसेतु)

India’s First Voice-First AI Civic Redressal & Statutory SLA Orchestration Platform

  🎙️ Voice in 22 Languages   ➔   🧠 AI Legal Triage   ➔   🧭 GPS Ward Mapping   ➔   ⏱️ 48h SLA Countdown

🌟 Live Web App • 📊 Executive Summary • ⚡ 5 Superpowers • 🏗️ Architecture • 🔌 API Specs • 🚀 60s Quickstart

Important

Executive Overview & Core Mission: 72% of Indian citizens abandon filing civic complaints due to language barriers, confusing government jurisdictions, and bureaucratic silence. NyayaSetu turns a raw vernacular voice note in 22 Indian languages into an airtight legal dossier, maps the exact municipal ward via GPS/PIN database, dispatches it to the verified nodal officer, and enforces a strict 48-hour statutory countdown with automated supervisory escalation.

The Massive Indian Civic Friction

The Language Wall: Millions of citizens speak regional dialects (Bhojpuri, Santhali, Marathi, Tamil) and cannot draft formal English legal petitions required by portals.
The "Jurisdiction Ping-Pong": When a water pipeline bursts, citizens don't know if it belongs to Municipal Corporation (JNAC/NMC), Tata Steel UISL, State PWD, Water Board, or NHAI. Complaints get rejected for wrong routing.
The "Black Box" Experience: Tickets receive vague reference numbers and remain unanswered for months without any accountability or escalation path.

The $0 to $1 Breakthrough

NyayaSetu (न्यायसेतु) is not just a portal—it is an autonomous civic orchestrator.
It bridges the gap between citizens and authorities through a single, seamless voice-first pipeline:

  (Sarvam AI STT)       (Ward Geo-Engine)           (DC Escalations)      (eGov DIGIT-PGR)

🎙️ 1. Multimodal Indic Intelligence (22 Languages)

Citizens simply tap the microphone and speak naturally in their native mother tongue.

Sarvam Indic STT Engine: Converts audio from Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, Odia, Urdu, etc., with high phonetic accuracy.
Entity & Fact Extractor: Instantly extracts domain classification, severity score, hazard coordinates, and missing critical details.

// AI Structured Triage Telemetry
{
  "category": "Food Safety & Standards",
  "severity": "HIGH",
  "urgency_score": 0.88,
  "location": { "ward": "Bistupur", "district": "East Singhbhum", "pincode": "831001" },
  "designated_authority": "Food & Drug Administration (FDA) / JNAC Civic Cell",
  "sla_window_hours": 48
}

🧭 2. Autonomous Geo-Spatial Ward & PIN Engine

Browser GPS Auto-Detect: Instantly resolves device latitude/longitude into exact urban wards (e.g. 22.8006° N, 86.1871° E maps directly to Bistupur, Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee).
Instant 6-Digit PIN Engine: Entering PIN codes like 831001, 440001, 800001, 700001, 110001 auto-populates district, state, and designated public body in < 50ms.

⏱️ 3. Self-Enforcing 48h SLA & Multi-Tier Escalations

Every case is assigned a statutory Citizen Charter SLA deadline (e.g., 24h for drinking water/sewage contamination, 48h for roads/traffic hazards, 7 days for certificates).
If the designated Junior Engineer / Inspector fails to act within the SLA window, the case automatically triggers hierarchical escalation:

[ Level 1: Nodal Officer ] ──(SLA Breach > 48h)──> [ Level 2: Deputy Commissioner ] ──(Delay)──> [ Level 3: District Magistrate / Secretary ]

🔄 4. eGov CCRS / DIGIT-PGR Citizen Empowerment

Adheres to official standards of eGovernments Foundation DIGIT-PGR:

Citizen Satisfaction Rating: Upon case closure, the citizen rates the ground work from 1 to 5 stars (★ ★ ★ ★ ★).
One-Click Re-Open Grievance: If paper records mark a complaint "Resolved" but sewage still overflows on the road, the citizen clicks "Re-open Grievance", resetting the SLA and ordering an immediate supervisory re-inspection.

🛡️ 5. Zero-Trust Privacy (DPDP Act 2023)

No Aadhaar or Biometrics Required: Authentication is strictly via mobile OTP.
Data Minimization: Zero banking, financial, or invasive personal records collected.
End-to-End Cryptographic Audit: All timeline milestones and officer responses are immutable and digitally signed.
