Abstract :
Abstract This research explores the citizen charter’s dynamic circumstances from the perspective of the citizen in the Rangamati and Naniarchar Upazilas. Citizen charter, a key element of administrative changes, seeks to improve the delivery of public services and facilitate citizen participation. This study aims to get an in-depth understanding of respondents' awareness levels, satisfaction with the quality of the services they receive, and effects on their well-being. Using a mixed-methods approach, 200 respondents from both Upazilas were questioned using structured questionnaires. The results show various degrees of awareness, satisfaction, and effect. The conclusions reached here contribute to the continuing conversation on citizen-centric government. References Adhikary, R. P. (2023).
