Janaagraha is a not-for-profit institution involved in the areas of active citizenship and improving the practice of democracy in India. While this involves working at a variety of levels, our work is constantly anchored by examining issues from the perspective of the citizen.

Our mission, therefore, is fundamentally about two things: first, to create new political "space" that includes the citizen in decision-making processes in our democratic structures; and second, to strengthen the role of the two legitimate political decision-makers—citizens and elected representatives—to fully participate in these spaces.
