Your Turn, Citizen.

Simple thing is, the bodies that create laws, rules and regulations seek feedback from us, the citizens, to finalise them.
What are we waiting for?

Consultations That Need Your Voice

THE PROBLEM

Policy Decisions Need More Voices

Governments seek public feedback on important policies. Yet consultations are often hard to find, difficult to understand, or open only for a short period. Civis makes them easier to access, understand, and respond to.

HOW IT WORKS

How Civis Helps you Participate

  1. We find open consultations

    We track draft laws and policies that are open for public feedback.
  2. We simplify them

    We convert complex policy documents into clear summaries, key points, and questions that are easier to understand.
  3. You share your response

    You can read the summary, understand what may affect you, and send your feedback through Civis.
  4. We organise public inputs

    Responses are structured and shared with relevant government bodies so citizen voices can be considered in the policy process.
  5. We track participation

    You can see the consultations you responded to and continue participating in policies that matter to you.

Civis Connects People, Policy, and Government

Citizens

Citizens bring lived experience. Your response can show how a policy may affect families, workers, students, businesses, communities, and everyday users of public systems.

Civil Society and Experts

Civil society organisations, researchers, and experts help build public understanding by making complex policy issues easier to follow, explain, and discuss.

Governments

Government departments receive structured public inputs that can help them understand concerns, suggestions, and priorities from people across India.
Together, this creates a more open and informed consultation process.
