Get to Know Us

Sangyan means Cognition. Simply put, The Sangyan is an endeavour to take cognizance and document stories and issues, especially of subjects and perspectives requiring better attention & documentation from legal, political, environmental, social & economic perspectives. The core principle of The Sangyan is Dharma [The Right Thing To Do - A person’s moral and social obligations both as an individual and also as a member of society], Nyaya [outcome-oriented justice], & Niti [concept of rule-based law]. The motto [ध्येयवाक्य] of The Sangyan is "कालाति क्रमात् काल एव फलम पिबति" [when the right thing is not done at the right time then the time itself destroys the essence]. The initiatives under The Sangyan are Drishtikon [research articles, factsheets, etc.], Ulgulan Talks [interviews and case studies], #KnowYourConcept [Lexicon], #BoloTohJaane Initiative, and Project Drishtant [Best Practices].

Our Logo

The concept behind The Sangyan's Logo is understanding 'all things being the same, the simplest solution is the best one' and inspired by 'The Thirsty Crow Story', the logo symbolizes this sutra that we mean to realize and reflect in our endeavours.

The logo integrates the core principle of The Sangyan - Dharma [The Right Thing To Do - A person’s moral and social obligations both as an individual and also as a member of society], Nyaya [outcome-oriented justice], and Niti [concept of rule-based law] and the motto [ध्येयवाक्य] of The Sangyan - "कालाति क्रमात् काल एव फलम पिबति" [when the right thing is not done at the right time then the time itself destroys the essence].

The logo has been conceptualised and designed by The Sangyan's founder and curator - Adv. Abhishek Kumar.
