The Governance Series

 

Inviting authors to contribute to the Nagrikal

We intend to showcase the perspectives from small cities to honestly depict the reality on the ground. To achieve this, we would reach out to contributors who hold expertise in various urban related services to share their views. Authors from diverse backgrounds including citizens, representatives of the government, actors of civil society, writers, and academics to write about knowledge emerging from small cities around the world.

Our platform, Nagrikal, endeavours to be a pioneer in bringing public policy to citizens and city governments, especially those in small cities. Limited knowledge has been emerging from smaller cities - whether in policy priorities of the national and sub-national governments; discussions at international forums; research by academia; or common knowledge of the citizens. Nagrikal is a platform for Behind-the-scenes actors to share their experiences and lessons so that they be channeled into policies.

Through the Nagrikal:

  • We seek to provide information about governance in a collaborative and commentary style instead of ‘knowledge’ being disbursed.

  • We maintain our focus on small towns, which are often left out of the policy discourses.

  • We bring to light a variety of perspectives from different actors interacting with policy, from policy makers to administrative officials, politicians and various stakeholders.
