PILAG Foundation.

People’s Initiative for Local Administration & Governance
Whether feeding a neighbourhood today or contribute to shaping national policy tomorrow, we measure success by one metric: Tangible Improvement in People’s Lives. Our goal is to scale proven solutions and ensure local communities in India become active participants—and recognised leaders—in global conversations on sustainable development and just transition.

Why We Exist?

  1. Community-first governance: Too often, policies are designed far from the people they affect. We ensure grassroots insights flow upward to shape responsive governance.
  2. Inclusive development: From children to elders, every demographic felt the pandemic’s impact. We work so no one is left behind as India builds forward.
  3. Evidence-based action: Emotions sparked our inception, but rigorous research, analytics, and on-ground pilots drive our solutions.
