Dear Friends,
I am looking for feedback on setting up "I-Power" platform in India.
Most people are hesitant to engage with governments and avoid getting entangled in government affairs. They do not trust government officials to act honestly and resolve their public grievances
quickly. Many end up paying bribes, using unscrupulous middlemen, or
currying favours for government officials to get their work done quickly.
Those who do not, because of their ethics or financial situation, are
deprived of redress. This corrupt and unaccountable government system
raises the cost of engaging with governments for everyone, and penalises those who do not pay bribes.
Surely there has to be a better way to engage with governments?
*Enter I-Power.*
I-Power web + mobile platform will provide people with online legal tools (including RTI) and crowd support to resolve their public grievances quickly. No more bribes.
I-Power team researches the legal options available to citizens to redress their grievances, and lists them on its platform in an easy and simplified manner (sans legal and bureaucratic jargon).
You will find the concept note open to improvement at:

If you find it useful, then please share "comments" at the above link - because it will help fine-tune and improve the platform!
Organisations willing to host and support this platform are equally welcome.
Best regards,
