MyCityMyBudget 2021-22 – Mangaluru

Introducing the MyCityMyBudget campaign in Mangaluru, launched by MCC Commissioner Mr. Akshy Shridhar on January 19, 2021. This initiative aimed to gather citizen inputs for the municipal budget, providing a platform for residents to influence development plans in their respective wards. Leveraging digital platforms like a dedicated Janaagraha microsite, WhatsApp, and Facebook, alongside ground-level engagement led by community leaders and stakeholders, the campaign ensured widespread participation across all 60 wards. Supported by diverse entities including Mangaluru’s Apartment Association, educational institutions, civic groups, and elected officials, the bilingual survey questionnaire facilitated a nuanced understanding of citizens’ priorities. The campaign concentrated on focused priorities for the current year, with plans for future expansion and enhancement.
