About Us

Bangalore Political Action Committee (B.PAC) is a non-partisan citizen’s group that aims to improve governance in Bengaluru and to enhance the quality of life of every Bengalurean. B.PAC is specifically targeting good governance practices, integrity and transparency in all arms of the government, improving the quality of infrastructure in the city, identification and support of strong candidates for public office at all levels of governance and the creation of a safer city where the rule of law is ensured for all citizens of Bengaluru as highlighted in B.PAC charter and agenda for Bengaluru.

Born of a will to convert urban apathy to positive actionable change, B.PAC has grown into an influential, neutral, apolitical organization that works towards enabling good governance and encouraging active engagement with citizens, civic bodies and the government. B.PAC has emerged as a platform for participative democracy, inspiring informed voting by advocating for a transparent campaign financing, responsible electioneering, organizing pre-election debates and preparing reports of the candidates contesting in elections.
