Citizens for Justice and Peace
National Register of Citizens (NRC) is a list containing names of Indian citizens of Assam. The NRC was first prepared in 1951, after the Census of 1951 to maintain a record of citizens. The Assam Accord, signed in the aftermath of the Assam Agitation held between 1979- 1985 demanded the expulsion of 'foreigners' from Assam. This led to the updating of the NRC. 3.2 crore people submitted over 68 lakh documents and just over 19 lakh people were left out of the final NRC published on August 31, 2019.

HELP US DO MORE / DONATE
Our inspiring achievement of releasing 52 detainees in 18 months needs to reach its logical conclusion, so that a cruel system does not deal them another body blow. Today they are only out on bail even though their documents were in order and yet they were cruelly incarcerated. Now that we have them out on bail, we will work tirelessly to get them formally declared Indian.
We are also committed to multiplying our efforts across many districts in Assam, ensuring the CJP experience with positive legal and paralegal interventions gets replicated so that thousands of victims of the Citizenship Crisis in Assam are benefitted, sooner than later. For this we need you more than ever!
All Donations to CJP are 50% Tax Exempt under section 80G of IT Act, 1961.
