Maharashtra Knowledge Centre (MHKC)

Insight. Intelligence. Impact.

MHKC is an independent knowledge forum that synthesizes research, analysis, and
outreach to engage meaningfully with Maharashtra's evolving socio-political landscape.
MHKC functions across three interconnected verticals: Content, Data, and Events.

Data Section

DATA

BRINGING CLARITY TO COMPLEXITY

Our Data vertical is the analytical engine of MHKC. We collect, interpret, and contextualize data on critical social and political trends shaping Maharashtra and the broader Indian landscape. Our data work is designed to inform policy debates, guide narrative construction, and reveal the truth behind media noise.

Types of Engagement

  • Customized Datasets and Field Reports
  • Visual Dashboards and Data Storytelling
  • Electoral, Demographic & Opinion Trends
  • Regional Sentiment Mapping
  • Comparative Policy Impact Analysis

By transforming raw data into insightful frameworks, we provide stakeholders from researchers to policymakers with tools to make informed, fact-based decisions.

Events Section

Types of Engagement

  • Thematic Public Lectures and Panel Discussions
  • Public Dialogues and Citizen Forums
  • Leadership Bootcamps and Ideation Labs
  • Media Literacy & Governance Awareness Workshops
  • Issue-Based Campaigns in Colleges and Communities

EVENTS

WHERE IDEAS MEET ACTION

The Events vertical transforms knowledge into civic engagement.
Our curated programs provide platforms for dialogue, collaboration, and awareness-building, ensuring that the insights gained from our content and data work are not confined to documents, but reach the public square.

Each event is shaped by MHKC’s signature approach — intellectually robust, socially relevant, and strategically positioned to influence opinion and policy.
