The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the citizen’s ombudsman bill, is a proposed independent anti-corruption law in India. Anti-corruption social activists proposed it as a more effective improvement to the original Lokpal bill, which is currently being proposed by the Government of India. Social activist Anna Hazare started a Satyagraha movement many times by commencing an indefinite fast to demand the passing of the bill. Here you can watch the video to learn about Jan Lokpal Bill.

The Jan Lokpal Bill aims to effectively deter corruption, redress grievances of citizens, and protect whistle-blowers. If made into law, the bill would create an independent ombudsman body called the Lokpal. It would be empowered to register and investigate complaints of corruption against politicians and bureaucrats without prior government approval.
