Answer:
The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the Citizen's Ombudsman Bill, was bill drawn up by some civil society activists in India seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body to investigate corruption cases.[1]
The Jan Lokpal aimed to deter corruption, compensate citizen grievances, and protect whistle-blowers. The prefix Jan (translation: citizens) signifies that these improvements include inputs provided by "ordinary citizens" through an activist-driven, non-governmental public consultation.[2]
The word Lokpal was coined in 1963 by L. M. Singhvi, a member of parliament during a debate.
