Activities

Research Foundation for Governance (RFG) is an Ahmedabad-based think-tank working primarily towards creating and promoting legal innovations and legal reforms in India. The organization conducts research on key issues in law and policy and hosts public events in order to raise awareness, particularly among the youth who are often disengaged from the democratic process. It champions the cause of seeking and creating innovations in the space of access to justice and also acts as a consultant in the implementation and development of Government policies.

The Foundation is a non-party, neutral and independent Foundation and does not support or endorse any political candidate/party or extreme political ideology.

RFG was started on 26th January, 2009 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Since its inception, RFG has been able to create a significant and positive momentum among the youth to bring about a change in the legal and governance structures of India. Our research has reached out to the stakeholders in all the relevant areas, including citizens from different walks of life, as well as the youth.

Now, RFG has over 3000 members who contribute in different ways such as by participating in research, making financial contributions, organising events as well as reaching out to people through social media campaigns.

Being an organisation predominantly working on the strength of interns and volunteers, RFG has hosted interns and volunteers from over 15 countries in the world and from prestigious institutions such as the University of Oxford, Cambridge, the London School of Economics, Wharton, McGill University, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad among others.
