Creating alert, informed and active citizens
#MondayMotivation Today’s Story of Change comes #MondayMotivation Today’s Story of Change comes from the programme that we offer to college students - The ACTiZENS’ Collective. While our flagship programme, the ACTiZENS’ Club, has been touching the lives of school students, via monthly activities, we felt a strong need to curate a new set of opportunities for college students so that they are encouraged to step out of their ‘comfort zones’ and work on a civic action project in their neighbourhood. Participants of the programme also conduct primary research to understand the problem that they have decided to address and then attempt to engage with local government officials in order to report the issue and find sustainable solutions. We are delighted to share what students from VVM’s Govind Ramnath Kare College of Law in Goa did, as part of this ACTiZENS’ Collective programme. Streetlights on Borim Bridge had stopped working. Students Kadambari, Aislita, Saima, Anand, Amey, and Vijay launched a signature campaign, gathered evidence, and pushed for action. Read what happened next in the attached creative. #deshapnayen #deshapnayenactizensclub #actizenscollective #alertinformedandactivecitizens #actizens #storyofchange

#WednesdayWisdom Our guest author on the Desh Apn #WednesdayWisdom Our guest author on the Desh Apnayen blog this month, Mr. Sridhar Rajagopalan, explains why we need more people to take up the long, patient work of building a better society. He adds, “Think about the decades-long struggles to reform how women, lower-caste communities, and other marginalised groups were treated. These transformations, which today may seem self-evident, began with a minority of one.” The full article is available here: http://bit.ly/ArticleBySridharRajagopalan (link in bio) #DeshApnayen #ActiveCitizenship #ACTiZENS #AlertInformedAndActiveCitizens #Democracy
