Avantha Governance Fellowship: 2017-19
Avantha Foundation: Avantha Foundation came into existence in 2010 with the objective of improving the quality of life of communities across the country by addressing issues of national concern through pioneering development initiatives. The foundation seeks to bring about systemic changes within identified issues by supporting long term strategic interventions and by encouraging multi-sectoral partnerships.
 
It partners with a broad range of stakeholders including government and non-government organisations as well as multilateral agencies to implement programs and create outcomes that lead to policy changes in favour of communities in need.
 
The foundation currently addresses the following three critical areas of need:
Improving child nutrition in indigenous and tribal communities.
 
Treatment, care and support to people living with HIV.
Building capacities to improve governance in small & medium towns.
 
Governance Program:The Foundation promotes democratic governance fortified with citizen participation, innovative processes and pioneering urban service delivery. The Foundation believes that rapid urbanization has brought with it challenges that need focused attention. By improving urban service delivery in small towns and promoting informed participation by citizens, local leaders and policy makers, a systemic transformation can be achieved. The program aids in implementation of research based, data driven and citizen centric governance reforms in small and medium towns in collaboration with Urban Development Department of State Governments and the respective Local Governments.
 
The foundation is also setting up a ‘Centre for Effective Governance’ at LM Thapar School of Management in Chandigarh as a Centre of excellence for undertaking action research in the field of urbanization and democratic governance, offer MPhil and PhD in Democratic governance and build capacities of wide range of stakeholders viz. bureaucrats, elected representatives and civil society organizations.
