Abstract
The case is about the origin and objectives of Lok Satta, a movement organised for creating good governance practices in India. It explains the conditions suitable for the organisation's growth, the organisation structure, the campaigns it has undertaken and their impact. Lok Satta made a modest beginning and went on to become one of the leading organised movements in the country. The case also deals with how Lok Satta differentiated itself from other non-governmental organisations (NGOs), how it partnered with other NGOs, and how it managed public opinion. Coming out with solutions, rather than being a part of the problem, Lok Satta added a new dimension to the reforms debate. The case ends with a note on Lok Satta's plans to surge ahead in the future. The case tries to integrate the vision and voice of Lok Satta associates with the organisation's activities.
