As the campaign peaks and promises fly from every leader and candidate, voters are getting ready to cast their precious vote.

In the run up to the 2024 elections too, it has been working on reports, that will enable citizens to understand various aspects of governance and performance of the elected representatives, in the build up to these elections.

The underlying theme of these reports is an analysis of whether parties actually managed to fulfil the promises they made in the last elections – whether it be in the startup world, employment, or EWS reservation.
