This year the Theme for the Conclave is Citizen Action for Electoral Reforms and Good Governance.

Over the years the dialogue on good governance has focused on the urgent and critical need to ensure that our institutions of governance are freed from the all pervasive Grip of Corruption. Several studies of what is wrong and the corrective steps needed to right these wrongs have been published. Many seminars and discussions have been held. In the process the importance of focusing on the political establishment has emerged as the core concern. The urgency of Electoral Reforms has become a key issue. 

We believe that it is timely to move ahead and focus not only on the barriers confronting us in securing Electoral Reforms, but, on how we can overcome them and succeed by confrontation, bypassing and circumventing them. We intend to find practical ways and devices to Secure Electoral Reforms so that we the People of India CONVERT THE "MIRACLE OF DEMOCRACY" INTO REALITY. 

As India readies for another edition of the biggest electoral exercise in the world, this year’s RIGHTeveryWRONG Conclave will focus on related issues and opportunities. The discussions will centre around the urgency of Electoral Reforms, the ills plaguing political establishments, related corrective measures and their implementation. 

The Conclave will be followed by the Annual Karmaveer Puraskaar, iCONGO’s National People’s Awards for Social Justice and Action that honour concerned citizens who have been and led the change they wanted. Join citizen leaders representing virtually every field of human endeavour, as they brainstorm on ways of confronting the challenge of securing electoral reforms. Understand your responsibility, voice your thoughts and do your bit for giving our world the future it deserves. 26th of November is the day we adopted the constitutional pledge as WE THE PEOPLE in 1949 and is now promoted by iCONGO as the National People’s Social Justice and Action Day

The various sub Themes for the Conclave are-

• Need for Good Governance
• Influence of Money and Muscle in Elections
• Political Accountability & Party Democracy
• Promoting Voter awareness, vigilance and participation
• Election Watch and Role of the Electorate
• Required Reforms in Electoral System
• Corporate Sector as Change Agent
• How to secure change
• Debate: Do Politicians Support The Demand For Cleaner Legislators?

The idea is to promote thought processes for good governance and social responsibility amongst citizens in Government, Businesses, NGOs, Small & Medium Enterprises, School/ Universities and harness the power of ONE as democratic citizens. It is a beginning for building people movements and knowing that We the people as individuals comprise We the power and that together as ONE we can RIGHT every WRONG.

Acknowledging that the necessary skills, resources and legitimacy for tackling these challenges are dispersed between different levels of various sectors, the Conclave would address the need for new models of constructive dialogue, consultation and alliances amongst the sectors by building collective people movements. This would be a forum to learn from pioneers across sectors about how we can all be change leaders and contribute to the process of leading change and to assist in helping people start their journey to create a successful, measurable and sustainable social impact.

KARMAVEER PURASKAR- National Awards for Social Justice and Citizen Action were commissioned 2 years ago to recognise individuals who have been pivotal for leading change beyond their business as usual by being committed on individual levels to work on social issues. The awards shall be given to individual for their contribution to promote social justice and action. The individuals shall be chosen from various sectors and in the coming year we are focusing on people from Government, Businesses, SME’s, Civil Society, Media and various other sectors.

The Conclave objectives:

• To sensitise citizens about social issues.
• Create citizen involvement to drive social action for building a just, humane and responsible society.
• Promote the idea that social action is 'fun' and win-win: 'rewarding'.
• To share and disseminate information using The SOCIAL ACTION Conclave platform to mainstream and simplify social issues in the public domain and create citizen involvement by effectively using media.

The Vision and Mission: Find ways for people from Government, Corporates, Media, SMEs, Students and NGOs for working together as ONE to lead a change in societal thinking and RIGHT every WRONG.

The values: We would like to promote the courage of conviction, the power and integrity of ONE as an individual to take stands, speak out against any wrongs being done and lead change . There is an old saying that it’s a crime to do injustice but it is a bigger crime to bear injustice. Let’s stop feeling sorry about the state of the country and act like good citizens to bring in change for deprived communities by being humane, just and socially responsible. Let’s stop just discussing issues in coffee/ tea parties and the cocktail circuit and exercise our rights as a democracy. Let us reach out with solidarity and compassion to help the under privileged and marginalised. Let’s stop the talk and apathy. Let’s start to WALK THE TALK.

Together as ONE we can RIGHT every WRONG. Together as the great Indian Middle Class of the world’s largest democracy we can practice our rights and lead the change to get justice for all. Hence we need to go beyond pointing fingers and waiting for Corporates to be socially responsible, Governments to help communities and so on as all these sectors are made up of We the people and when we lead the change the Government, Businesses and all other sectors will follow the change as all sectors are made up of people who need to now become good citizens. In conclusion “We the People now need to become We the power” and that is possible when we take sides, stand up and speak out as neutrality helps the oppressor never the oppressed and our silence encourages injustice thus denying ourselves Social justice and a true democracy.
