Welcome

Research Foundation for Governance: in India (RFGI) is an Ahmedabad-based think-tank that aims to research, promote, and implement various reforms to improve the legal and political process in Gujarat and across India. The organization conducts research on key issues in law and governance and hosts public events in order to raise awareness, particularly among the youth who are often disengaged from the democratic process. RFGI also acts as a consultant in the implementation and development of Government reforms.

Journey to Justice


The need for justice in India is stronger now than ever before. The cries to create an equal society are louder now than ever before. As the youth of the country rises, the right time to bring about a more just society is only now.

On Saturday, 2nd March 2013, with the support of the Canadian Consulate and Darpana Academy, Research Foundation for Governance in India is hosting an event: "Journey to Justice". We will be screening a Canadian documentary, which looks at how common citizens with their determination and willpower helped remove discriminatory laws and practices. read more

Legislative Drafting

Rule of law requires that laws are capable of guiding the conduct of its subjects and institutions, so as to enable them to achieve their highest potential. The task of judiciary too becomes easier if the laws are clear and well-drafted. An integral component to achieve a well-functioning democracy upholding the rule of law is that the laws and regulations possess clarity and are succinctly drafted.
We are excited to develop legislative drafting as a core activity of RFGI and help actively in the process of drafting legislation at various levels of the governance system. We would be happy to be contacted with specific requests of legislation drafting. read more

Public Debates

Fasting Debate

One of the ways to achieve our aim is by way of monthly public discussions on various issues pertaining to governance. Any kind of social or political problem concerning people in India is taken up during our debates. People from different spheres of society regardless of gender, age and community can participate in discussion which they find contentious within Indian legal and political systems and can present their ideas on how to effectively to solve them. RFGI maintains a high standard debate structure through which strong arguments are created and shared. We feel proud to say that our events are attended by highly distinguished judges, politicians, academicians, intellectuals and most importantly, dynamic youngsters, who share their valuable opinions on law and mechanism of powers in India. Together with these esteemed individuals and vigilant citizens, RFGI helps in improving the quality of democracy in our country.
