The HCL Grant is a recognition of the rise of

community-led ecosystems, Non-Governmental

Organizations

–

The Fifth Estate. The other four estates

that democracy rests on are

–

the legislative, judiciary,

executive, and free press. These estates not only define

the fabric of our society but also act as potent drivers

propelling India to the next level of growth and

prosperity. It is imperative that the growth process that

we as a nation subscribe to is inclusive, and carries

forward all sections of the society across geographies.

This is where the community-led ecosystems are

destined to play a decisive role in building

a stronger, future-ready India.
