Just one example, take Bengaluru's current water crisis.
Citizen Matters has published hundreds of articles covering water-related topics including insightful case studies and solutions. They empower citizens with information, create awareness and shape narratives.
Open City surveyed and published water tanker rates in January that helped RWAs spot the trend on water availability and supply-demand dynamics. The February Datajam saw experts, data analysts and urban planners dissect various water scenarios using data. At a webinar on Tue, 12th March, the teams presented their findings to both the public and officials.
And much before the crisis came into news, our Masterclass on lakes explained the importance of these water bodies and resulted in a dozen lakes being audited by local volunteers with data shared publicly on Open City.
Thus we enable in-depth understanding of problems and possible solutions on issues that affect all of us every day. Our foremost objective: To develop a critical mass of informed citizens, who are equipped to engage in collective problem solving.
Help us continue our work towards that goal.
