Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS), which means ‘the organization for the power of laborers and farmers’ in Hindi, was founded in 1990 by three social activists in one of the most backward areas in the state of Rajasthan, India. MKSS is an organization that works to ensure the proper implementation of people’s rights, especially among the poor.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The members of MKSS are mostly from the lower socioeconomic classes, such as small and marginal farmers and landless laborers. The organization has been involved in initiatives to ensure transparency and accountability in the local administration, such as ensuring the payment of government-approved wages for workers. It has also championed efforts to involve people at the community and village levels, such as demonstrations and jansunvais, which MKSS has been organizing over the years in rural Rajasthan.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The efforts of MKSS contributed significantly to the implementation of the right to information act in Rajasthan. Its success has inspired people in other Indian states to demand the passage of a similar right to information act in their states. MKSS continues to work toward exposing corruption and increasing public accountability among government functionaries, and its work in fighting corruption for more than a decade has earned MKSS global recognition and support.<\/div>\n
