Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies (RNP) looks to support ideas, individuals and institutions doing ground-breaking work that enables a strong samaaj with ethical leadership, a sense of urgency and the courage to learn. This, we believe, will lead to revival of communities and help build their capacity to fulfil their functions and duties for their own betterment.

At the heart of the work of RNP is a mandate to strengthen constitutional values and principles. RNP believes that transparency and accountability are starting points and not always ends in themselves - that in a participatory democracy the samaaj engages in co-creating governance, rather than merely demanding them, and engagement models.
