By engaging leaders, thinkers and citizens in dialogues CGRI explores vital issues facing India and the world. We then build on that further and develop bold new ideas. We then try to shape the national debate. We share our point of view with everyone who can put our ideas into practice and effect positive change. That means online, on campus, in the media, on the shop floor, in faith communities and in the boardroom. Our progressive partners then take our ideas to the respective state assemblies in India as well as Indian Parliament. Working with CGRI
