Praja.in aims to be a bridge between those who serve us and those amongst us who care and want to participate. Towards that, it aims to establish an Internet driven community to help make the connection at local levels. It wants to be a networking platform for active and concerned citizens. As a start, Praja.in aims to capture voices and opinions from the ground via web based tools of blogs and discussion forums. Once the community expands and builds credibility, it will take the next step of participation via RTI queries, town hall meetings, suggestions, complaints or PILs. |

National Election watch (NEW) is an alliance of over 1200 NGOs from every State. It is a non partisan citizen led effort focused on putting pressure on political parties to field clean, capable candidates, improving voter rolls, and curb electoral malpractices, particularly the use of money to buy votes. The strategy is to work with the media to disseminate complete candidate information, disseminate information on performance of sitting MPs, bring complaints on electoral malpractices to the notice of EC officials, enter into dialogue with candidates across the political spectrum wherever possible and place voter expectations before them, use mobile technology and sms to reach information to a large number of voters, set up hotlines to help citizens, and work with the EC to improve voter rolls. Beyond the 2009 elections, NEW has a larger agenda – improving governance in general. This would at first focus on regulating funding to political parties, and ensuring inner party democracy, a step many leading democracies around the world have already taken. NEW will also press for a comprehensive Bill to regulate political parties as suggested by the Law Commission in its report. |

Design is an enabler. In today's economic environment, we see more and more businesses benefit by bringing design into their boardrooms. Corporates are using design to fuel their commercial interests with great success. The social sector however, has been left behind with a limited number of design studios in a position to address the ever growing need of these organisations. FL!P Social Design is an attempt to create a "Design Social Enterprise" that caters to the needs of organisations working in the social sector.
Social Design is a division of FL!P Design Pvt. Ltd.
