Ravisankar (Raviji) Mahaacharya

Sociocracy is the evolved democracy which clears most of the bottlenecks existing in the democratic system. We, at Neighbourhood Community Network, adapted sociocratic principles of operation in all our activities. We promote it in our millions of Inclusive Neighborhood Children’s Parliaments throughout the world. It is coincidental that the Sociocracy and the Neighbourhood Community Network movements started at the same time in different parts of the world and merged after almost 15 years. This is the new age governance which is inclusive of everyone in the decision making. Let’s empower all!
