Give Voice to All Stakeholders
Amplify the voices of diverse communities — women, youth, RWA leaders, and underserved residents — ensuring that Gurugram's civic conversation is inclusive and representative.
City Issues We Track

Gurugram's Civic Priorities

All issues

Five issues where GurgaonFirst actively runs programmes, publishes research, and convenes citizens and government.

Air Quality
PM2.5 levels remain concerning. Construction dust, vehicular emissions, and stubble burning are the three primary drivers.
AQI 142 · Moderate
Water Crisis
Rapid depletion of the Aravali aquifer threatens long-term water security for Gurugram's 2 million+ residents.
Groundwater ↓ 3m
Waste Management

1,400 MT daily

Active since 2014
Women's Safety
