We believe climate change should be the basis of current discourse, and our stories attempt to reflect the same. In addition, our ground reporters focus on various thematic areas and intersectional issues of agriculture, labour, employment, poverty, etc. of the most vulnerable communities in India. ग्राउंड रिपोर्ट आवाज़ है हर उस नागरिक की जो जलवायु परिवर्तन, बेरोज़गारी, असमानता और भेदभाव की वजह हाशिए पर खड़ा है। हमारी कोशिश है मध्यप्रदेश, उत्तरप्रदेश और जम्मू कश्मीर जैसे राज्यों के ज़मीनी मुद्दों को आप तक पहुंचाना और उन ज़रुरी मुद्दों की आवाज़ को राजनीतिक खबरों के शोर में भी बुलंद रखना। The organisation is passionate and earnest attempt of a group of young journalist to bring back the glory of 'Groundreport' journalism. We accept varied political opinions, and promote citizen journalism.
