FOREWORD
Dawn of the Fifth EstateOur country today resolutely stands on the strong foundation of four estates -
democracy, independent judiciary, matured bureaucracy and free press. These
estates not only de�ne the fabric of our society but also act as potent drivers
propelling India to the next level of growth and prosperity.
It is imperative that the growth process that we as a nation subscribe to is
inclusive, and carries forward all sections of the society across geographies.
This is where the community-led ecosystems are destined to play a decisive
role in building a stronger, future ready India. As much as the contribution
made by the �rst four estates to the development and progress of our country,
it is the �fth estate comprising non-governmental organizations - individuals
and institutions formed and led by the citizens of the country, which would
play a signi�cant role in the future progress of our country.
HCL Grant envisions to strengthen NGOs and development sector through
deep institutional involvement and commitment. The Grant stands testimony
to the fact that only strong governance structures, management capabilities
and reliable impact measurement systems within NGOs can help them
take-up and sustain high impact, complex social transformation projects - vital
to bridge the divide between the two Indias - of haves and have-nots.
In the end, for us to be a great nation, we need to walk together, think
together, grow together and together take the country forward. HCL Grant is a
small step in that direction.
1
There are about 3.3 million NGOs in India and several of them are doing commendable work in various
areas aimed at inclusion and development. The HCL Grant has been launched to support the
