The document summarizes a presentation about empowering citizens through greater transparency and accountability in governance in India. It discusses three key parts: 1) the Bhagidari partnership model that trained citizen groups to monitor government services and hold officials accountable; 2) improvements brought by right to information laws that gave citizens access to government documents; 3) using geospatial mapping and census data to measure inequities and disparities across regions to improve accountability. The combination of these measures helped citizens better engage with governance and demand improvements in public services.
