Add Your Voice to the Movement for People-Centric Digital Public Infrastructure
SIGN THE MANIFESTO
Stand with millions who deserve digital systems built for them — not around them.
The future of Digital Public Infrastructure will be shaped by those who refuse to accept exclusion as inevitable.
By endorsing the JanDPI Manifesto, you join a growing coalition of citizens, researchers, technologists, policymakers, civil society leaders, and grassroots practitioners who believe that public digital infrastructure must be of the people, by the people, and with the people.
Your name is your stand.
WHY ENDORSE?
Because silence is consent to a future built without us.
Across India and the Global South, decisions about Digital Public Infrastructure are being made at speed, at scale, and often without the voices of those most affected. Endorsements are how we change the room, how we ensure that the people who design, fund, regulate, and build DPI hear from those who insist it must serve everyone.
Your endorsement does four things:
Amplifies the call
Every name strengthens the argument that people-centric DPI is not a fringe idea — it is a public demand.
Builds collective evidence
Endorsements form a public record of consensus that researchers, policymakers, and journalists can cite.
Connects you to a network
You will join a community of practitioners and thinkers shaping the future of inclusive digital governance.
Keeps you informed
You will receive curated updates, invitations to convenings, and opportunities to contribute to JanDPI’s work.

📜 THE PLEDGE
By signing this manifesto, I affirm that I support the vision and principles of JanDPI, and I commit to:
✓ Believing that Digital Public Infrastructure must serve the unconnected, the unlettered, and the marginalised first
✓ Advocating for people-centric design, public accountability, and meaningful access in DPI
✓ Listening to the lived experiences of those excluded by current digital systems
✓ Amplifying the JanDPI principles in my own work, networks, and conversations
✓ Acting — within my own capacity — to ensure no one is left behind by the systems built to serve them
This is a moral commitment, not a legal one. Your signature is your voice — used with care, never with obligation.
