Are you deeply immersed in the issues of your community, Do you track local issues, engage in civic developments, and actively contribute to solving problems? Do you have a story that others in your neighbourhood and beyond will benefit from? 

At Oorvani Foundation, we empower citizens with civic information, tools, and networks. We are building a community of active citizens and civic changemakers creating solutions for urban India, through our platforms, Citizen Matters and Open City, and our learning and engagement programmes.

Citizen Matters, as a civic media and knowledge platform, contains a large number of citizen-authored articles. These offer in-depth understanding and solutions for urban challenges, including water, waste, governance and public services, climate and sustainability, and more. 

We invite dedicated, active citizens to share your stories through this platform.
