By Abdul Nishad in Media News on
  In India’s sprawling and chaotic urban mazes, where the hum of traffic often drowns out the voices of neighbourhoods, Meera K has spent over a decade tuning into what really matters: the daily lives of ordinary citizens. As co-founder and managing trustee of the Oorvani Foundation and this year’s recipient of the Gene Burd Award for Excellence in Urban Journalism, Meera’s work is a testament that the stories closest to home are often the ones that bring about real change. It is tempting to call Citizen Matters, Oorvani’s flagship initiative, just a publication. But for Meera, that label does not capture the full picture. She is clear that their work today is an integrated set of platforms and programmes that help people learn, engage, collaborate and drive action. They do this using storytelling through Citizen Matters, open data tools through Open City, and also learning modules, collaborative workshops and community jams that bring residents together to understand and
