About the campaign

Everyday actions build the India we share.

Patriotism comes alive in how we care for our country each day - the citizen who cleans a lake, makes a road safer, or restores a public space.

Civic Sense Heroes is The Better India's nationwide campaign to find these citizens, tell their stories, and give their work the recognition it deserves - with outstanding heroes recognised nationally around Republic Day.

Find

Citizens improving the places and systems we all share.

Celebrate

The people whose actions make communities cleaner, safer, more accessible and more responsible.

Inspire

More Indians to see civic responsibility as a daily expression of patriotism.

When one citizen takes responsibility, an entire community sees what's possible.

Watch · Reels & posts

Watch the Heroes in Action

Every act of civic responsibility has a story. These films, reels and posts capture the citizens who spotted a shared problem and chose to solve it.

Your City. Your Hero. Your Turn.

Help us discover the citizen whose work deserves to be seen across India — the person quietly fixing your street, your lake, your locality.
