Tired of the same reports on endemic corruption, archaic leadership, and misgovernance in our society! Look around… Do you see garbage that is never cleared, parking laws that are not obeyed, media reports that are not entirely truthful….A broken system.. Easy to sit back and complain…. or feel helpless…or simply not worry about this…right? For a change why not try to make a difference… however small it may be…
This is the story behind Rakshak. Rakshak was born as a way for us to make difference and inspire others like us to shun the natural apathy about larger issues. In a short span of four years we have grown into an international organization, with volunteers spread across India, US and Europe working on wide range of issues affecting India and Indians worldwide.
