CRFHGR indulges in Public Policy Research, Grassroots Perception Studies, Behavioural Analysis, Citizen Advocacy, Campaign Innovation, Content Development, Media Studies, Stakeholder Engagement, Peace & Conflict Studies, Governance Consulting, Techno-politics and Social Impact Assessment Our Work How do we make our world a better place? How to contribute to human progress and make societies more peaceful and prosperous? What do we do to achieve this? Public Policy Research In simple words, Public Policy is what our governments choose to do (or) not. All governments try to do something good in the interest of society based on a certain conviction. We contribute to this process through research of new and existing policies. Citizen Advocacy Knowledge and information are useful only when they are shared. In the current digital age, we are going through a phenomenon known as 'content bombardment' sometimes leading to misinformation. It is important that citizens possess the right knowledge to combat ignorance and misinformation. Media Studies Media, whether print/electronic/digital plays a phenomenal role in setting-up and shaping social and societal discourses. Understanding and incorporating media perspectives into change and impact management is key to holistic well-being. Governance Advisory Contribute to the simplification of myriad aspects of governance in order to achieve intended impact by involving all the stakeholders. Capacity Building Capacity building is necessary to achieve intended results. Imparting knowledge through trainings, building better instincts, value systems and creating a sustainable environment for the effective individual functioning shall be undertaken. Grassroots Perception Studies Understanding ground realities is the most essential requirement in the area of social sciences research. We gather valuable data from our field visits, surveys and ethnographic studies and develop insights into the needs, aspirations and the perception of our individuals and communities. Campaign Innovation Innovation is everywhere! Anything (or) aspect of our life and society can be hugely impacted through innovation that inspires human action. Innovative campaigns act as force multipliers in social reform process. Stakeholder Engagement No reform or impact can be made possible without understanding the thoughts, concerns and opinions of the stakeholders associated with that reform decision. By engaging all necessary stakeholders, we strive to develop deeper insights and crafting solutions. Techno-politics Exploring and adopting new methods of technology into policymaking, politics and governance paving way for responsible digital societies. CSR Advisory The core human needs are changing, so are the challenges associated with fulfilling these needs. Bearing in mind the evolving nature and scope of core needs, we help corporates and other business partners to effectively and efficiently plan and execute their CSR activities driving social impact. Behavioural Analysis Human behaviour is complex. Yet, sometimes, behaviour of humans in groups could be less complex. How complex is it? Why is it so? How to understand it and use it to our needs is a huge branch of study. Content Development Who does not love engaging content? The key characteristic of a great content is driving enthusiasm among the audience. The key characteristic of impactful content is to translate enthusiasm into action. We strive for the creation of impactful content. Peace and Conflict Studies Peace cannot be achieved until conflict is understood and conflict cannot be understood until the root of all human insecurities are understood and addressed appropriately. We strive to understanding insecurities. Social Impact Assessment Observation, measurement and analysis of policy decisions to formulate consequent action. ESG Advisory Today individuals, communities and organizations are witnessing the perils of climate change. We work with them to build sustainable business systems and models that mitigate the climate risk while maintaining the quality of product or service.

Our Legislative Reform Agenda > Election Manifestos (Regulation) Bill Email Subject Line & Body Text (For our Hon'ble Members of Parliament) Email Subject Line: Appeal by Your Voter | Need of a Legislation to Regulate Election Promises | Election Manifestos (Regulation) Bill Email Body Text: Greetings Hon'ble Sir/Madam, I, __________________________, a voter of your Lok Sabha (Parliamentary) Constituency and/or State, would request you to propose and endorse the idea of regulating the election promises made by the political parties and political candidates in their election manifestos by way of working towards the enactment of a parliamentary legislation titled Election Manifestos (Regulation) Bill. A draft of this bill can be found at the link given below for your perusal and action. As you are aware, all political parties are resorting to freebies, some of them may be logical and much needed, however, some of them are not required and lack fiscal prudence on behalf of the political parties and their candidates. Political parties often realize this mistake sooner (or) later after forming their own governments. Election Manifestos are meant to provide a strong vision and action agenda of political parties as to how these parties would contribute to holistic reforms and betterment of different sections of the society. Every time a political party makes an election promise, and fails to deliver on it for whatever reason, it undermines the trust and faith of the people in the democratic processes, institutions and, ultimately, the democracy itself. Therefore, it is in the interest of all the people, society and nation that the trust in the very idea of democracy be enhanced and strengthened. This Election Manifestos (Regulation) Bill draft legislation marks a significant step in that direction. We hope you will consider and act on this! Thank you! Yours sincerely, ______________________ Find your Lok Sabha MP Find your Rajya Sabha MP Email ID: appt.pmo@nic.in Email Subject Line: Appeal by a concerned Indian | Need of a Legislation to Regulate Election Promises | Election Manifestos (Regulation) Bill Email Body Text: Greetings Hon'ble Prime Minister Sir, As an Indian citizen, I appeal your attention to the urgent need of regulating the election promises made by the political parties and political candidates in their election manifestos by way of working towards the enactment of a parliamentary legislation titled Election Manifestos (Regulation) Bill. A draft of this bill can be found at the link given below for your perusal and action. As you are aware, all political parties are resorting to freebies, some of them may be logical and much needed, however, some of them are not required and lack fiscal prudence on behalf of the political parties and their candidates. Political parties often realize this mistake sooner (or) later after forming their own governments. Unfortunately, even the parties like BJP which had advocated for fiscal responsibility are resorting to making unsound election promises (that are detrimental to the fiscal position and financial health of governments and states across the country). Election Manifestos are meant to provide a strong vision and action agenda of political parties as to how these parties would contribute to holistic reforms and betterment of different sections of the society. Every time a political party makes an election promise, and fails to deliver on it for whatever reason, it undermines the trust and faith of the people in the democratic processes, institutions and, ultimately, the democracy itself. Therefore, it is in the interest of all the people, society and nation that the trust in the very idea of democracy be enhanced and strengthened. This Election Manifestos (Regulation) Bill draft legislation marks a significant step in that direction. I appeal to you to gather inspiration from our Hon'ble Former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji who enacted Fiscal Responsibility & Budget Management Act in 2003 for the purpose of ushering in an era of 'fiscally responsible governance'. This draft legislation attempts to usher in an era of 'fiscally responsible electoral politics' under your esteemed and magnanimous leadership. We hope you will consider and act on this! Thank you! Yours sincerely, ______________________ Email Subject Line & Body Text (For our Hon'ble Prime Minister)
