Established in 2005, Pardarshita—meaning “Transparency” in Hindi—is a non-profit organisation committed to community-led change through participatory and accountable governance. Staying true to its name, Pardarshita upholds transparency and responsiveness to the communities it serves. Rooted in a community centred approach, the organisation began its journey with campaigns around the Right to Information and education, gradually expanding its work based on community priorities.

Today, Pardarshita focuses on improving access to quality education—especially for girls—strengthening public health, advancing gender equality, addressing gender-based violence, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and responding to the challenges of climate change. The organisation has demonstrated scalable impact by ensuring access to public entitlements such as PDS and social security schemes, activating the EWS quota for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and preventing child labour through age-appropriate admissions under the Right to Education Act. It has supported over 30,000 families in securing entitlements and government benefits and has set up dedicated centres to assist survivors of rape and domestic violence.
