It is something to be IGNITED

Why a better Democracy is our concern?

Quality of Government affects the life of the general public. The irony is that the very people who are affected by the government are themselves so absorbed in their day to day life that they hardly care about who runs the government, how it runs and what process it adopts.

Our democracy is a young democracy with a lot of scope of improvement in it. Pointing out just the fallacies wouldn’t do us any good; we have to come out with solutions. With this object in mind we are trying to do our bit with a solution-oriented approach, while remaining out of the murkier things of politics.

At this stage we have limited our role to bringing out and highlighting the relevant issues, holding debates, discussions and seminars on it. We are also planning to bring something like a “Green Paper” in the form of a book on the possible reforms in our democracy (on the lines suggested by Justice Shri MN Venkatachaliah committee in its report on “Constitutional Reforms”). BBS chairperson Hemant Goswami had also brought out a book in 1998 on the possible reforms in Indian Democracy. The book "Towards a Perfect Democracy" was highly appreciated for its originality and initiation of a though process.

We hope to sensitise a sizeable number of academicians, social activist, youngsters and other socially aware people. We hope that after being a part of our effort such people will not meekly submit to the mess around them by stating it as precedence’s and claiming to be helpless.
