Foreword

2021 started with the devastation of the second wave of Covid-19 with the Delta variant upending our lives. It ended with fears of the Omicron variant wreaking havoc, particularly severely for those who had been spared earlier. Living with Covid-19 is now the reality we must accept and prepare for.

Of all the lessons Covid-19 has taught us as law and policy researchers, if we had to select one it would be the need to think and act local. In a range of sectors, if India is to remain resilient and grow, it must strengthen its grassroots governance, empower its states and local bodies and ultimately support communities in their journey towards self-reliance and prosperity.

Much of our focus at Vidhi in the last year has been in increasing our presence in state capitals. We have been clear from Day 1, that if good laws matter at the Union level, they matter even more at the state and local level where they have a real, direct impact on people.

Vidhi Karnataka has gone from strength to strength working with the Karnataka government on 6 draft laws in the last year. One of these has been enacted with the others in various pre-enactment stages. Particularly satisfying was our work on how Indian cities can be made accessible to persons with disabilities. This research culminated in our report "Beyond Reasonable Accommodation" which looks at how the legal architecture of planning in India results in cities being designed only for able-bodied residents. We are currently engaging with the Karnataka Government to find ways to action some of the key suggestions of this report to make Bengaluru a truly inclusive city.

We have also opened a new state chapter in Maharashtra. Based out of Mumbai, our Maharashtra team has already taken up three areas of reform—devising systemic solutions to improve the plight of orphans and other abandoned children during Covid-19, reforming public libraries in the state including providing the blueprint for a digital public library and reviewing regulatory systems in city transport. This is only the beginning—we hope to collaborate with local stakeholders in the years to come to become a thought leader that drives better law-making in Maharashtra. Hopefully it will also provide a template that we can follow in other state capitals as we sustainably expand our presence.

Covid-19 has also shown that it is simply not enough to depend on the state for basic livelihoods—we have to help ourselves. Nyaaya, our open access digital resource that explains India's laws, set up a Covid-19 helpline that answered questions from citizens ranging from how to get ex gratia compensation to possible remedies when a hospital does not release the corpse of a patient for non-payment. The helpline mobilised a volunteer base of over 300 lawyers and law students who have resolved close to 700 legal queries in 5 different languages. This is the last mile of real legal change—to help citizens secure their rights and get their due. Nyaaya is scaling this helpline into a full-fledged access to justice initiative that will come to the aid of citizens when it matters the most.

Our Impact Report captures the key highlights of our work in the last year. What we are particularly proud of in this Report is our Virtuous Impact Cycle which is a methodologically robust way to measure the impact our work has had. This, together with a some select impact stories, will give you the unmistakable flavour of what makes Vidhi distinct from any other thought leadership organisation in India—we think originally, we engage with all stakeholders fairly and most importantly we make sure that our research transcends the realm of ideas to become actual, implementable law and policy.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Addressing Mental health support

The uncertainty, fear, and worry due caused by the COVID-19 pandemic impacted mental health at large. To support its teams through these unprecedented times, Vidhi tied up with 1to1help, an ISO-certified mental health service provider (MHSP), to provide 24*7 mental health support to anybody at the organisation who needed it. This included telephonic and online counseling, webinars/workshops on dealing with workplace issues, and manager training programmes, among others. The MHSP will also provide contextual support – counseling/help required during the pandemic – as long-term benefits. Since its launch, 50% of Vidhi's staff registered for the service, and 25% of the staff used the counseling services through different modes such as telephonic, virtual, and online sessions. The overall utilisation of the platform was 61.25%, which is much higher than the industry standard of 8%.

Platform for young researchers

Vidhi is proud to be a platform for many young researchers who, over the past 8 years, have been admitted for higher education to top institutions abroad. Shashank Atreya from the Vidhi Karnataka team started his Master's In Public Administration at the Columbia University in 2021, while Kanika Arora and Amrita Jacob from the Nyaaya team will pursue their LLMs from the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics and Political Science respectively in 2022. Akshat Agarwal and Akriti Gaur who have completed their LLMs from Yale Law School will be starting their SJD programmes at Yale in 2022.

Shaping the next generation

Vidhi has set up Kautilya Societies – student initiatives in universities across the country aimed at exploring public policy as a career path. So far, 9 such societies have undertaken various activities, including conducting legal research, hosting discussions and events on relevant legal policy developments, collaborating on events with Vidhi such as on a series of discussions on the constitution, writing for the Vidhi blog, as well as running their own blogs, newsletters, and podcasts. For instance, the Kautilya Society at National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, runs a blog, which has been cited in The Diplomat, The Print, Social Change Journal, etc. while members of the Society at the National University of Juridical Sciences (NUJS), West Bengal, were invited by the Parliamentary Select Committee to present their views on the draft data protection law.

Other Kautilya Societies are based out of NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, National Law University, Odisha, Symbiosis Law School, Pune, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University, Lucknow, Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur, Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar, and Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Patiala.
