Right2Education and Right2Health
Education and health are essential rights for which the government systems are geared to provide to all citizens of India. However, the machinery lacks access, quality and accountability where the role of the non profits, bureaucrats and the private sector can address governance issues and help India take the governance leap.

Right Judgements
The Indian Judiciary plays an increasingly important role in the life and the governance of this country.

There has been an increasing realization that this issue needs to be discussed and the essential role of non profits in judicial reform highlighted.
