SVEEP Museum & Capacity Building Center
In India, voter turnout had historically stagnated at around 55-60 percent, and these low polling percentages adversely impacted the quality of democracy. To address this, the ``Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation’’ program, better known as SVEEP, was established in 2009. SVEEPs primary goal is to build a truly participative democracy in India by encouraging all eligible citizens to vote and make an informed decision during the elections.
Grassroots Research and Advocacy Movement aim to submit a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a proposed Systematic Voters Education & Electoral Participation (SVEEP) Museum (Museum of Democracy) and a Capacity Building Centre by the Election Commission of India in Mysuru. The study will also include recommendations for the self-sustaining model.
