Creating alert, informed and active citizens

#WednesdayWisdom In the latest article on the Des #WednesdayWisdom

In the latest article on the Desh Apnayen blog, Dr. Anita Patil-Deshmukh writes, “At the age of eighteen, young Indians gain one of democracy’s most powerful tools: the right to vote. Yet meaningful participation requires far more than eligibility. It depends on the ability to seek reliable information, evaluate competing narratives, and make thoughtful choices. In an era of information overload and rapid misinformation, these capabilities are essential—not only for personal growth, but for the health of democratic systems.

With that objective, my organisation Partners for Urban Knowledge, Action and Research (PUKAR) has been running a Youth Fellowship programme and has been nurturing civic leadership since 2005. Grounded in Professor Arjun Appadurai’s idea of the “Right to Research,” the Fellowship democratises knowledge-making by enabling young people—across formal and informal educational backgrounds—to become researchers of their own realities. Drawing from Socratic dialogue and later pedagogies articulated by Paulo Freire, the programme follows an alternative approach of Community-Based Participatory Action Research, rooted in the principle of karake sikho—learning by doing. In bringing together youth from diverse social contexts to engage with real community issues, the Fellowship creates a cross-disciplinary, problem-oriented space where participation is not taught, but practised.”

#WednesdayWisdom “What kind of world are we le #WednesdayWisdom 

“What kind of world are we leaving behind for future generations? And who will help shape a more just and resilient one?

Increasingly, the answer lies with young people—and with a renewed understanding of citizenship. Across contexts, moments of social transformation are often driven by youth who are alert to injustice, informed about their realities, and active within their communities.”
