CES (Centre for Equity Studies) was founded in August 2000 as an independent organisation engaged in research and advocacy on a range of social and economic justice issues in India. CES examines the nature and causes of social injustice and inequity that befall the poorest sections of India to find ways to move towards a more equitable, humane and peaceful society. CES believes in the inherent and intrinsic equal worth of every human being, and therefore, seeks ways of closing the gap between the rich and the poor, the powerful and the disempowered, the socially advantaged and the socially oppressed, and the physically ‘able-bodied’ and differently-abled. It specifically seeks to support a compassionate, peaceful and just world and just, responsible, caring, transparent and accountable governance.
