India Justice Report

What India Justice Report does

India Justice Report is an independent, non-profit research and monitoring organization established in 2018 in New Delhi, India, that produces periodic assessments of justice delivery capacity across Indian states. It serves government bodies, policymakers, researchers, academics, media organizations, and civil society groups working on justice reform. The organization publishes annual or biennial India Justice Reports covering four pillars of the justice system: police, prisons, judiciary, and legal aid, with editions released in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2025. It has also announced the Consumer Justice Report 2026, a first-time assessment of consumer redressal commissions using data from the CONFONET (now e-Jagriti) dashboard covering 28.57 lakh cases filed between 2010 and 2024.

The core methodology involves proprietary composite scoring to rank Indian states on justice delivery indicators, supplemented by state-specific and national factsheets, an interactive Compare States web tool, and standalone policy recommendation documents for police, prison, and judiciary reforms. All publications are distributed free of charge as open-access PDFs under a CC BY 4.0 license, with no registration required. The revenue model is grant-funded rather than commercial: the organization acknowledges unnamed supporters through logo displays on its website and has no disclosed funding rounds, pricing, or commercial products.

The organization operates with a small team of approximately 10 employees and maintains a lean digital infrastructure built on the open-source Frappe framework. Its marketing is conducted primarily through its website and social media channels (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram), with earned media coverage amplifying report releases. Despite limited organizational scale, India Justice Report has built a recognized reference point in Indian governance and justice discourse through six years of consistent publication and an expanding data archive.

Broad incumbents

• World Justice Project: Global organisation that publishes the Rule of Law Index, a multi-country composite index covering criminal justice, civil justice, and government accountability. Comparable at the methodological level — composite scoring of justice-system performance across jurisdictions — and broadly relevant as a global benchmark for IJR's domestic rankings.
• Centre for Policy Research: New Delhi-based think tank producing policy research on governance, federalism, and rule of law in India. Different thematic focus from IJR's narrow justice-system lens, but is a recognised Indian think-tank peer competing for the same policymaker attention and grants.
• National Council of Applied Economic Research: One of India's largest policy think tanks producing state-level socio-economic and governance data. Operates adjacent, not overlapping, but uses comparable state-ranking methodologies and targets the same government/policymaker audience in India.

Emerging players

• Praja Foundation: Mumbai-based civic-data organisation publishing municipal-level governance and quality-of-life data across Indian cities. Smaller in scale and narrower in geography than IJR, but applies a similar model of publicly-available data-driven accountability reporting for Indian governance.
• Asia Crime Prevention Foundation / Indian Police Foundation: Indian police-reform research body that publishes state-level analysis of policing in India. Direct thematic overlap on the police pillar of IJR and similar audience among policy and civil-society stakeholders.

Direct peers

• Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative: New Delhi-based independent NGO that researches policing, prisons, and access to justice in India. Directly comparable: produces state-level data on police, prisons, and justice delivery for advocacy and policy use, mirroring IJR's pillars.
• Centre for Law and Policy Research: Bengaluru-based research centre producing empirical legal and policy research on Indian governance, courts, and rights. Overlaps with IJR on judicial-access research and targets similar academic and policymaker audiences.
• Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy: India-based legal-policy research organisation producing research on justice reform, courts, and governance. Same core audience of policymakers, civil society, and media as IJR and addresses overlapping themes in Indian judicial reform.
