The Common Ground project by Scroll.in is inspired by our belief that there is more to our shared life than the divisive politics that characterises our times. Away from the high-decibel debates in the news are important stories that need to be told about our neglected commons: areas like health, education, work, gender, land and climate. We want to investigate these stories on the ground and bring them to you with depth, verve and nuance. We have three award-winning reporters on board: Aarefa Johari, Ishan Kukreti and Johanna Deeksha. And we’ll be working with independent journalists around India. Ajay Krishnan, who has many years of experience with shaping in-depth reporting, joins us as Contributing Editor on the project.

Support Scroll's Ground Reporting Fund
Thank you for making Scroll.in the digital-only news organisation with the widest reach in India. We are immensely grateful for your trust. But trust is not enough to fund ground reporting – now more than ever before, when independent voices in India face unprecedented pressures. To uncover the truth, we need to go further and dig deeper. And we need your help to do that. Our newsroom is funded through advertising revenues and subscriptions, but ground reporting requires special resources. We request you to support our award-winning journalism by making a financial contribution towards the Scroll Ground Reporting Fund. The fund will ensure we can continue to ask the questions that need to be asked, investigate what needs to be uncovered, document what must not go unrecorded. Your support is crucial: India needs independent media and independent media needs you.
