About Janaagraha
Janaagraha is a Bengaluru based not-for-profit institution working to transform the quality of life in India's cities and towns. We define quality of life as comprising of quality of infrastructure and services,and quality of citizenship. To achieve its mission, Janaagraha works with councillors and citizens to catalyse active citizenship in city neighbourhoods, and with governments to institute reforms to city systems.
Janaagraha has worked extensively on urban policy and governance reforms for over two decades across union and state governments, including on JnNURM, XIII, XIV and XV Finance Commissions, Second Administrative Reforms Commission, CAG of India, NITI Aayog / Planning Commission, Capacity Building Commission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), etc. Janaagraha is part of the JANA Group - one of India's best-known groups of not-for-profit institutions working towards the mission of fixing India's cities.
