Jaago Re! One Billion Votes is a non-partisan national campaign launched by Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy (a non-profit organization) and Tata Tea, to awaken and enable the citizens of India, especially the youth, to register for voting. Its mission is to register everyone in India to vote in the next 5 years, for better governance. In the launch year (2008-09), the campaign targets the top 35 cities of India, and aims to register millions of youth before the 2009 general elections.


This initiative sounds a wakeup call for the billion people of this country to unite and bring about change. A change in the quality of governance that can happen only with active participation through voting, and electing quality leaders. A change by strengthening the roots of Indian democracy.

The inspiration for the web-site in Vikas's words is :

"After having spent many hours over many years in deep debate and discussions, Nawang and I had our dreams. All through, one thing that bound us together was an urge to ''make a difference''

The objective of this site is to provide, using the Internet, staple food to chronically hungry Indians so as to enable them to survive, learn and work.
