At Lokpath, the roadmap we have ensured are the values, beliefs and ideals of democracy. Government should always be accountable to its people and the nation and we will always be asking questions to the authorities keeping a close eye on each and every activity of the government, the opposition and the society. We feel it is our responsibility to showcase the stories and be the voice of the unspoken & unheard masses. Lokpath is on this journey with constant monitoring.
