Their mission is to create tools and establish platforms to spawn an evolved democracy that enables:

  • Informed Tracking: IVP presents relentless scrutiny of promise versus performance of elected representatives through rigorously researched, objectively analysed and efficiently communicated information.
  • Informed Education: IVP aims to galvanize society with catalytic information related to rights, responsibilities and processes of intervention available to all stakeholders in a democracy.     
  • Informed Engagement: The organisation hopes to bring about a high calibre of information-based engagement between elected representatives and citizens to realize the collective aspirations of society.

Their initiatives are as follows:

  • In 2014, they executed a comprehensive candidate profile for the MLA elections from different constituencies in Mumbai. In 2012, they did the same for the Municipal Council of Greater Mumbai (MCGM).
  • They also did an analysis which represents an assessment of the party’s manifesto where specific steps and solutions were proposed related to areas of legislative responsibility defined under the Union & Concurrent List of the Constitution of India.
  • They also published a MP Promise v/s Performance report card 2015 which is a comprehensive analysis of the performance and deliverance on promises by the six sitting MPs from Mumbai. The report contains a reader-friendly analysis that will answer compelling questions of the citizens of Mumbai.
  • IVP presented daily and comprehensive session summaries related to attendance of MPs during sessions and a consolidated summary of every question asked by them during question hour.
  • In 2012, they established an interactive voice response system (IVR) as part of a candidate profile creation service for all candidates who could call in and record a 3-minute audio response to specific questions.
