Promoting good governance, transparency and accountability.
Advocacy with the State government is to ensure good governance, equity and accountability. In the quest for a ‘smart city’, a form of urban casteism emerges which wants cheap labour and services while rejecting those who provide these .
Engaging with public policy through research and advocacy.
The Centre also hopes to conduct policy studies and research based on emerging needs and issues. This research will inform to work of the Centre to ensure that interventions come from a position of understanding and empathy rather than presumptions. This research will also be widely available to academicians, civil society, networks and campaigns – groups that we intend to engage with as equal partners in advocacy with the State government.
We work on :
- Survey and Research
- Seminars and workshops
- Engaging with issues related to migrant workers.
- Collabrating with other NGO’s and like-minded individuals.
