India is a vibrant and constitutional democracy, and the largest of its kind in the world. At the core of its democracy is the commitment to hold regular, fair, and free elections. Elections provide citizens the opportunity to determine composition of the government. Hence, it is paramount that conditions are made conducive for citizens to exercise their polling rights. It is also important that citizens are made aware of their rights and quality of the elected representatives, besides increasing the scrutiny of the polling process. In this backdrop, the Trust has been involved in supporting organisations that propagate electoral reforms that promise to blow in the winds of change and result in clean and responsible governance. The Trust has supported Foundation for Democratic Reforms (FDR), Hyderabad, for identifying and training concerned citizens on issues relating to governance, through workshops, meetings and cultural programmes.

The rights and issues of women have been neglected since ancient times in the country. Lack of access to information and low awareness about the women's rights are the major reasons that have restricted the quality of life of women. This has led to the Trust supporting organisations that disseminate information regarding the rights of women and creating awareness. Mahila Punarvaas Samooh Samiti, Jaipur received support for strengthening their resource and documentation centre on women, which would reach out to smaller towns and encourage youth involvement in their work. This would be done through strengthening its longer term study of the following issues:

1. Media and women
2. Violence and women.

To increase the effectiveness of the program, a resource agency Jagori, New Delhi, has been appointed to provide inputs on programmatic issues.
