Who We Are

CHRI is registered in India since July 1993 as an independent, non-partisan, non-governmental organisation under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. We believe, fundamental rights enshrined in India’s Constitution are the expression of the universal value system of human rights without which a life of dignity is not possible. We advocate for rule-based, participatory, inclusive, open and accountable government. Our work is positioned at the intersection of civil liberties and governance.

  • training public sector officials to implement laws with due regard for human rights

  • partnering at various levels with individuals and institutions that share our vision.
