The Nagrik Foundation, re-established with a view to transform the lives of marginalized, particularly in rural areas has achieved significant success in its endeavours under the leadership of Shri Deepak Dwivedi. His enthusiasm, dexterity and understanding of wide aspects have led to high level of motivation amongst young people on a large scale and, consequently, brought about encouraging response, and also results. Moreover, it offers significant insights on how further association of the needy can be achieved in ties ahead. It deserves wide dissemination and discussions.

Prof. Dwivedi's passion towards academics led him to continously being involved in rendring services and advice to several prestigious academic institutions and Universities across India such as Mahatma Gandhi University, Andhra Pradesh; Yogi Vemana University; Indira Gandhi National Open University and Mewar University. Perhaps, it is his passion towards action-research focused development journalism which brought us further closer while conceptualizing the implementation of participative assesment and monitoring of different social and economic developmental projects in rural india, which eventually led to his participation in United Nations Global Compact Principles for Responsible Management Working Group(s) on 'Anti-Corruption in Management Curricula' as well as 'Anti-Poverty' in which we wok as colleagues. I wish Prof. Dwivedi all the best for all his professional endeavours!
