RWA - The 4th Tier of Governance
This is a compendium of a number of concept practices and strategies, primarily, to draw the attention of practitioners of community level governance. My long association with them has helped me to pool together those experiences to contribute towards evolving a coherent vision of a 4 th tier of governance. Nevertheless, I have no pretension to have said the last word about it. Based on the premises exposed here, I hope the many more experiments would be carried out, in order to improve a citizen's experiences for a more meani…

The Most Anticipated Hotel Openings in Strasbourg this Summer
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

How to fight Corruption & Injustice
The spirit behind publishing this tool is to empower the citizen, the educated common man, to understand the functioning of the institutions that surround him/her and which, at present, make him feel helpless, desperate and humiliated. This is like helping one to domesticate a wild horse. It is tough but rewarding. And also to convince the rider that the wild horse is worth owning and keeping in his stable. In other words, we want to help him regain his faith in men and women who are operating these mechanisms. By and large, they deser…
CoRWA: The Crusader for RWAs
The ultimate objective of CoRWA is to link the RWA Mission from state to city and up to even the Gram Panchayat level. Some models are being prepared to this effect. Significantly, CoRWA feels RWAs should form the fourth tier of local self-government in line with the central, state, and local bodies as the urban residents are unfortunately under-represented in all the three tiers of governance, says Dr K S R Murthy in this article that appeared earlier in Terra Green, the journal of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

Our National Election Commission
By Dr.Rao VBJ. Chelikani It is time that the Election Commission of India becomes pro-active to promote better democratic practices on the part of our political class. It is probably one of the very few valiant institutions about which an average voter is not very cynical and whose objectivity, he does not doubt much. It has been, so far, able to protect the citizens’ statutory right to vote freely and fairly. With the introduction of the electronic voting machines with the possibility to visually verify one’s vote, its efficiency has increas…
Religions and Culture in India
With the emergence of an independent and awakened India, its culture is becoming more humanist, pacific, universal and inclusive, bereft of political or religious ideologies. By Dr. Rao VBJ Chelikani It would be interesting to understand a phenomenon that occurred very often in history in different parts of the world. We can produce a formula out of it: the higher the sophistication of a culture or civilisation of a nation, the lower would be its capacity to defend itself. Why did the mighty civilisations, so easily, succumb to physically das…
