The Governance Series 2.0

Our platform, Nagrikal, endeavours to be a pioneer in bringing public policy to citizens and city governments, especially those in small cities. Limited knowledge has been emerging from smaller cities - whether in policy priorities of the national and sub-national governments; discussions at international forums; research by academia; or common knowledge of the citizens. Nagrikal is a platform for Behind-the-scenes actors to share their experiences and lessons so that they be channeled into policies.

Through the Nagrikal:

• We seek to provide information about governance in a collaborative and commentary style instead of ‘knowledge’ being disbursed.

• We maintain our focus on small towns, which are often left out of the policy discourses.

• We bring to light a variety of perspectives from different actors interacting with policy, from policy makers to administrative officials, politicians and various stakeholders.
