RFG is a think-tank started on 26th January 2009 in India with the vision to
produce cutting edge research on governance issues. Since its inception,
RFG has been able to create a significant and positive momentum on its
focus areas, which at the time was to understand and recommend changes in
the legal and political structures of India. Our work has reached out to the
stakeholders across different walks of life, including academia, government,
youth, media and civil society and most importantly, concerned citizens.
RFG is a non-party and independent Foundation, and it does not subscribe to
any extreme ideology.

About Our Logo
The logo of RFG India is a political concept.
The three pillars in the logo represent the three wings of a democratic government: the executive (the cabinet), the legislature (the parliament) and the judiciary. As per the doctrine of Separation of Powers, these three are separate and distinct pillars.
On these three pillars, rests the pyramid, which represents convergence of all three wings into ultimately one value (pictured as a dot in the logo) – which is the 'Grundnorm' or the 'basic norm' as signified by the great political philosopher Hans Kelsen. The 'Grundnorm' represents the highest value of any society from which all the laws obtain their validity.
This logo has been conceptualized by Kanan Dhru & Kelly Dhru, and designed by Kumar Ahir.
