  • Issues with Indian Democracy

    • Locus of Power not resting with Citizens
    • Lack of Data that leads to conceptualization of weak strategies that further results in a Non-Transparent system
    • Systemic collapse of Governance
    • Missing connection between citizens and everyday democracy
    • Lack of understanding about the system of democracy and existing social contract
    • Unsustainable economic practices leading to a malignant form of uneven growth in a socialist democracy

  • Fundamentals

    • To think, realise and visualize democracy beyond the process of voting.
    • To ensure that people in the grassroots understand the power of being a true democratic citizen.
    • To make citizens understand the Social Contract and the immense responsibility that comes with being a part of the Social Contract in a large democracy such as India.
    • Making all four pillars and structures of democracy accountable using the citizen centric approach.
    • Ensuring transparency in Governance across tiers and departments. Understanding that corruption is merely a symptom of the larger disease of ‘Lack of Transparency’.
