Nagrika uses knowledge to enable citizen-led transformation in small cities

Nagrika is a think-tank enabling citizens in small and mid-sized cities. We create knowledge that shapes unique, authentic and resilient cities. Through this knowledge, we mainstream the voice of citizens in decision making.

The wait is finally over as we announce the 5th Youth Writing Contest.

Nagrika has been hosting Youth Writing Contests every year to open a platform for youth to write about their cities. In the past few years, we have had youth joining in from various cities and towns all across India to represent their hometowns through their creative inputs.

This year too, we have opened this platform for you to write about "My City, My Fun." Through your writings, we hope you can capture the unique essence of fun and leisure in your city while reflecting on the way fun has evolved, transformed and lingered on.

We gathers perspectives of citizens from small cities that are engaged with their cities. These individuals and groups are attempting to shape their cities by leveraging the uniqueness and authenticity of the city.
The citizens talk about their experience in strengthening the relationship between citizens and policies - Empowering citizens as policy makers and not just policy takers.
