Brief Note on Boot Camp of Praja’s Elected Representatives Fellowship Cohort-4

Over the last two decades, Praja Foundation has been working towards enabling accountable governance. We
conduct data driven research on civic issues, and inform citizens, media, and government administration and
work with elected representatives to equip them to address inefficiencies in their work processes, bridging the
information gaps, and mobilising them in taking corrective measures advocating for change.

Among Praja Foundation’s several capacity building efforts to improve governance in the city of Mumbai, the
Elected Representatives (ER) Fellowship Programme has always been one of the highlights. The programme
was designed to increase awareness, in the participating fellows, on the ground realities of urban governance
and the powers and functions of elected representatives while working alongside them. It focuses on building
the capacities of fellows to turn them into educated and skilled future political and social leaders.

The fellows get an opportunity to help the municipal councillors/ MLAs of Mumbai to discharge their
constitutionally mandated function i.e., raising questions on the floor of the house/ committees. This is done
through data and research support provided by the fellows. The fellows also get a platform to work on civic,
health, education verticals as well as on other prevalent issues alongside the elected representatives.

Praja Foundation is going to organize a boot camp online session (details about ERs Fellowship
Programme) for the candidates that have applied for the fellowship. The aim of this session is to share
details about ERs Fellowship Cohort-4 (Mumbai) and insights about Praja’s work in the field of Urban
Governance and make them aware about Urban Governance structure and the role of city government.
