• One is analytical in nature: Organise development data along electoral constituencies (rather than along administrative districts, which is the current practice in government); this renders the data comparable across neighbouring constituencies and induces a sense of competition for making claims about development.
    The second core task is to disseminate this information to citizens and politicians in an easy to understand manner. IndiaGoverns will use a combination of traditional methods of reaching out to citizens such as community meetings, using local media and new technologies such as internet, SMS, to engage with large numbers of people interested in these issues.
  • nsequences of most of the legislations passed in parliament are for at least next 75 to 100 years. However, it doesn’t get the debates and discussions it deserves. There is a need to make common man aware of policy matters and make their opinions heard on issues that matters to everyone. India Policy Wiki is created to be a platform that provides information about policy issues and also provides space for policy discussions. Our initial idea is to simplify policy issues by translating summaries of recent bills in parliament and use both internet and other media (regional newspapers etc.) to educate and inform common man. So, we created this online, multi-lingual, open-content, collaborative platform; that is, a voluntary association of individuals working to develop a common resource of knowledge related to Indian Legislation in Indian languages.
