The Bengaluru Civic Fest will be held on the 14th of February. It will see civil society organisations and groups discuss their work, government agencies communicate their work with citizens and school children discuss their participation in local governance.
At a time when everyone feels Bengaluru is down in the dumps, V Ravichandar gave a stirring TEDx talk on 4 April, 2013, on how there is plenty to hope if civil society, businesses and the government can join hands.
