Localism Research And Development Foundation

We are based over at Shanti Ashram on Barkagaon Road, right at 420A where Mrs. Lilawati Pandey lives. It is a pretty normal spot in Hazaribagh, and mostly we just spend our time looking into how things work around here. The name Localism Research And Development Foundation sounds like a lot, but really it is just a group of us trying to figure out local issues. We sit around the office and talk about the roads, the shops, and how the town is changing. It gets busy during the day with people dropping by, but that is how it goes. We don't have a big fancy office with glass walls or anything like that. It is just a regular place where work gets done. Sometimes the tea runs out and someone has to run down the road to get more. That is just how we operate. We have been in this part of Hazaribagh for a bit now and people know where to find us. If you walk down Barkagaon Road, you will see the sign eventually. It is nothing flashy, just a place for research and thinking about the community. We don't try to be anything we aren't. Most days are just spent at the desk or out talking to people nearby. It feels good to be based in a house like this instead of some cold building in the city center. It keeps us connected to what is actually happening on the ground.
