India is known for being the world’s largest democracy; and yet, a large proportion of the Indian population does not even cast their vote. Even though we are primarily a young population, we elect 60 year olds as our representatives. 

The country is a desperate need for some young leaders who can lead with morality, diligence and create a just world. 

Young people are leading the way to create a better world, from nation wide movements to creating impact on different tangents, the true power to impactfully influence the functionalities of our country lies with young people. 

 

City Tantra is a campaign designed specifically to indulge and enable young citizens to participate in local governance and civil society. The change starts with you and where you are, the grass-root level involvement of active young members of our society will bring not just enable the communities to better participate in civic bodies, but also bridge between the citizens and the government. Civic bodies are responsible for the issues and problems of the immediate surroundings of the population. And it is time we elect representatives who can solve our problems and engage with the community. 

 

With City Tantra you can be a part of a campaign that works on advocating the importance of local governance through artforms and dialogue by learning and working with researchers from IIMA, build a narrative around these issues, produce radio shows and generate content to create awareness around civic rights.
