Introduction[edit]
Bangalore Political Action Committee (B.PAC) is a Bengaluru-based non-profit organization, founded by the citizens of Bengaluru, to help improve urban infrastructure and the overall quality of life.[1][2][3] The organization advocates good governance practices and citizen participation for sustainable development.[4][5] It is primarily a think-tank that carries out research and recommends policy amendments to assist the local and state level governments.[6][7][8]
B.PAC works with the government of Karnataka and other government and non-government organizations.[9] It is not affiliated with any political party or government organization.[10] There are 12 employees in B.PAC and they carry out their initiatives with the help of local volunteers.[11][12] B.PAC's extent of work also includes supporting women and children welfare, political leadership, and urban traffic management.[13][14][15]
B.PAC was founded in 2013 by Kiran Mazumdar Shaw and T. V. Mohandas Pai to tackle the garbage crisis in Bengaluru.[16][17]
On National Voters' Day 2020, B.PAC was recognized as the best 'Not for Profit' by the Election Commission of India for electoral awareness initiatives during 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.[18][19]
