About IndiaGoverns

IndiaGoverns Research Institute was started in 2009 with a prestigious Echoing Green fellowship with an aim of:

• Making the development discourse between elected representatives and citizens better informed and backed by specific data, rather than only relying on perceptions;
• Enabling citizen groups and elected representatives to use such government data to strengthen their demands for greater government intervention on development issues relevant to them.

IndiaGoverns is based out of Bengaluru and is run by a team of four. We are advised by a highly regarded board of trustees including Dr. Vinod Vyasulu. We access data from government sources and reorganise them according to MLA / MP constituency boundaries. The reorganised data is analyzed and summarised in short, easy-to-understand reports. These reports are shared with a wide range of stakeholders including elected representatives, citizen groups and media. This has been published by various leading newspapers. These are also available in the website (indiagoverns.org) with tools for interactive comparisons.
