IT for Change is an India-based NGO working on information society, theory and practice from the standpoint of equity and social justice. Through research, advocacy and field projects, IT for Change seeks to challenge approaches that fail to address structural exclusions in the information society; and instead, promote alternative models that are participatory and inclusive. IT for Change is in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

As part of the Women-Gov project, IT for Change will be working with marginalised women's collectives (locally known as sanghas) of the Mahila Samakhya programme of the Government of India, in three blocks of Mysore district, to strengthen their capacity to engage with local governance institutions. Mahila Samakhya is a pan-Indian programme that works towards empowering rural women from economically and socially marginalised sections, through a collectivisation strategy. Over the project period, IT for Change will initiate new techno-social processes with sanghas in the project area, to carry forward Mahila Samakhya's vision of developing the sangha as a space for citizenship pedagogy,and as a local knowledge institution privileging women and other marginalised groups in the community.
