ABOUT US
Civis Stories is India’s pioneering media organisation to place special emphasis on reporting matters of Sustainable Development in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. We firmly believe that in the face of crises such as climate change, dwindling resources, and violations of Human Rights, it is essential to initiate a discourse on these matters from an alternative perspective.
As suggested by the name ‘Civis’, derived from the Latin term for Citizen, we delve into stories with a people-centric approach, transcending party politics to comprehend the implications of political decisions and policies on the general public. While Sustainable Development remains the primary focus of our online magazine, we also cover Geopolitics, Arts, Heritage, Culture, Books, Reviews, and in-depth Reportage on subjects of importance to us. We recognise the interconnected nature of these genres and the necessity to comprehend one in order to gain a perspective on the others.
