Welcome to Public Affairs Centre (PAC)!

We have been promoting good governance since 1994 through various citizen empowering tools like Citizen Report Card (CRC), Community Score Card (CSC) and Social Audit Toolkits

"Public Affairs Centre is truly an experiment – a leap of faith, guided by a vision to enhance the quality of our nation’s governance through an active interaction of civil society with the state. The positive response to the centre’s initiatives from many quarters and the adoption of its concepts, tools and messages in varied contexts auger well for the future"
