About
Goonj works to build more equitable relationships between cities and villages by placing dignity, participation, and local agency at the heart of development. Its approach reimagines under-utilised urban material not as charity, but as a resource that can catalyse community-led action. Communities identify and address their own priorities using their knowledge, effort, and collective capacities, while material becomes a means of recognising participation rather than a handout. Through this model, Goonj addresses basic yet often overlooked development challenges while strengthening local ownership and social capital. By turning urban surplus into a tool for development with dignity, Goonj demonstrates how lasting change can emerge when communities are recognised not as beneficiaries, but as equal partners in shaping solutions.

About
Medha works to expand equitable career opportunities for young people by strengthening the systems that shape their transition from education to work. Its approach begins with students, but goes beyond direct programme delivery—working with educational institutions, alumni networks, and public systems to embed practices that can continue at scale. Medha sees young people not simply as participants, but as guides to how these systems should evolve. Their aspirations, experiences, and feedback inform how institutions design support, how career pathways are strengthened, and how solutions are adapted over time. By combining student-centred practice with institutional adoption and system strengthening, Medha demonstrates what it takes to move from implementing a programme to building conditions for sustained change across education-to-employment pathways.

We, The People Abhiyan (WTPA) is a non-partisan charitable trust working to strengthen active citizenship and deepen people’s engagement with the Constitution.

At the heart of WTPA’s work is a simple idea: stronger public systems emerge when citizens understand their role, participate meaningfully, and act within their spheres of influence.
