This initiative aims to break down complex parliamentary processes into simple, accessible knowledge. We aim to bridge the gap between policy decisions and the people they impact by preparing summary briefs of Parliamentary Standing Committee Reports across diverse areas, including: Social justice and empowerment, Rural development, External affairs, Defense, Skill development and more. The aim is to bring the key findings of these reports into the public domain in a format that is clear, precise, and easy to understand.. This initiative empowers citizens with the tools to engage critically and constructively in India’s democratic governance.

Educate the Public and Encourage Civic Engagement:

Explain new Bills, Policies, Annual Reports, and Demand for Grants, highlighting what these parliamentary decisions mean for citizens and why they matter. Motivate citizens to engage directly or through representative institutions, as stakeholders in India’s governance.

Ensure Transparency:

Document the processes and procedures followed in turning a bill into an act, strengthening accountability and participatory governance. Track the entire functioning of Standing Committees, from their constitution to the role of nominated members.

Present Summaries of Reports:

Provide accessible summaries of reports tabled in Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, or relevant Standing Committees, covering:Annual reports of ministries/departments; New policies and bills; Action taken reports on earlier recommendations
