Today, the environment is facing major challenges in the form of forest and land degradation. The natural resources are depleting at a rapid rate that could be hardly self-sustain. It is very evident that greed, as well as the need of the human race, have compromised the equilibrium of nature. Now, the results are being much more distinct in the form of biodiversity loss, melting glaciers, change in climate and many more.

Indian policymakers are determined for environmental protection as they’ve passed many legislations in this line. However, prevalent ignorance and deep-rooted poverty and illiteracy at the ground-level have restricted the proper reclamation of the environment.

We were working complementarily with the government and private entities in the following verticals: 

The countries’ development status is reflected from the amount of investment in the health improvement sector and malnutrition alleviation programs. India, being a developing nation, is facing a daunting task to fight with these problems which when coupled with poverty and illiteracy increases the gravity of the problem manyfold.

The National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-4 (2015-16) Report reflects the issue more serious in India as 35.7 % children below five years are underweight, 38.4 % are stunted and 21 % are wasted in the country. In the State of Madhya Pradesh, the issue of health and malnutrition is even more complicated as 42.8 % children below five years are underweight, 42 % are stunted and 25.8 % are wasted. Further in the State of Madhya Pradesh the districts of Barwani and Sheopur have reported highest (55%) of children under 5 years who are underweight during 2015-16 (NFHS-4). The infant and children (under 5 years of age) mortality rates are 41 % and 50 % respectively.

Per the NFHS-4, the women between 15-19 years of age who were already mothers or pregnant at the time of the survey were 7.9 % as compared to 16.0 % to its predecessor report. The anaemic women between 15-49 years of age were 53.1 %.

Although, the figures provided in the recent report provides some relieve when compared to the NFHS-3, the current data is still unacceptable in a welfare society. The need of the hour is to formulate policies and the involvement of the civil societies to create pressure on the state and to intervene directly for the betterment of the unprivileged.

Our team is dedicatedly organising camps and sessions for awareness for health and malnutrition at various levels and create lobby to improve the state at substantial levels.

The ever-growing cyberspace and prevalence of digital social media have raised many concerns of cybersecurity. Youth has been the most impacted section of society, which can be strategically channelized using the social medium. The usage of e-commerce and economisation of online infrastructure has spread the scope of cybersecurity consulting and awareness.

Being founded by a team of experts from the domain, our society has integrated Cyber Security awareness programs as one of the fundamental structure of the organisation and have conducted many campaigns successfully throughout different places.

Apart from cyber law awareness, we also conduct regular camps for legal and moral rights’ sessions for the vulnerable section of society. Our prime objective is to facilitate the poor to access the justice system and be well known of the hierarchy and structure of the legal system of the country.

India has fared too low in the Global Hunger Report, standing 103rd among 119 countries – far behind other Asian countries including China (25th), Nepal (72), Bangladesh (86). The UN’s Food and Agriculture suggests that India stands far behind in meeting its Hunger Reduction Targets. The state of affairs appears to be more dismal when considering the state of undernourishment and wasting.

Although India produces enough food grains to feed its population, access to food remains a major concern. There is a huge mismatch in the supply-chain of food distribution. The government has promulgated policies and initiatives to bridge this gap. However, the actual trickle-down appears to be flawed. Even the private stakeholders have stepped in to eradicate this structural problem.

The policies such as the Targeted Public Distribution System have provided an infrastructural balance to fight with the hunger issue but the leakage and corruption in implementation made people suffer. The idea of social audit and positive interference from within the society is expected to realize the goal of true democracy.

Education is the most important and effective way to break out the cycle of poverty. The Right to Education Act, 2009 paved the way to enroll as well as retain children in school particularly from the marginalised section of the society. According to the 71st Round of the National Sample Survey on  Education over 2 crore children are still out of the organised educational system of the country. The Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2010 made education free and compulsory for all children between 6 and 14 years old. The RTE has substantially increased the enrolment rate but is certainly not enough to address the issues faced by the Indian education system.

The modern education in India is often criticised for encouraging theoretical rote learning, rather than comprehension, critical thinking and problem-solving. Students spend most of their time memorising a syllabus with no thought given to learning or analysis. Textbook knowledge, rigid ideas, and test scores take precedence over open debates and logical reasoning. Little room is left for creativity to thrive.

We believe in imparting basic education through interactive activities and analytical understanding. We contribute our part in the society by organising regular camps and sessions for children of varied age-groups. We build partnerships with different public and private educational institutions to up-skill the structural system of education.

Empowerment, per se, is a multi-lateral strategy that entitles the underprivileged to stand a chance to compete in the highly unequal society and to live a life with dignity. With reference to women and children, they are considered as the most vulnerable section of the society and are in urgent need for a pro-active interference from government and civil societies for their betterment and upliftment.

In the word’s of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, “You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women”. The need for woman empowerment lies its roots deep in the history-old domination and discrimination done by men over women. They’ve faced varied types of violence and discriminatory practices throughout the world. India is no exception.

As per the UNICEF’s “State of the World’s Children-2009” report, 47 % of India’s women aged 20-24 were married before the legal age of 18, and around 40 % of the world’s child marriages occur in India. It is the responsibility of the state and civil societies to aware the society about the mental and physical trauma a woman faces after marrying early. Even, the figures of dowry death toll 8,618 as reported by the National Crime Records Bureau in 2011. The most trivial yet ubiquitous problems women face in India is eve-teasing, which includes sexual harassment and molestation. It is the urgent need to sensitize the men-dominating society to stop objectifying the women and treat them equally as they are.

Human trafficking, most commonly, is referred to as the illegal trade of humans for the purpose of sex trafficking and forced labor. As per the Global Slavery Index of 2018, India fared 53 out of a total of 167 countries. The occurrence of Human trafficking can be traced back to the history-old gender-based discrimination faced by women. The heavily patriarchal society leaves girls with limited access to education, leading to gender gaps in both literacy and earning rates. As per the 2011 census data, out of the total 74 % literacy rate in India, only 65 % were women.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), there were 6,877 human trafficking cases were reported in India. The figures, however, remained a gross under-estimate as many cases were unreported as many people are still unaware of the crime or lacking the confidence to seek help from the administration. The data also suggest that over 60 % of the victims rescued were children. The women and girls accounted for around 55 % and the age-bracket of 15-18 years appears to most vulnerable.

The Government of India is working progressively to fight against human trafficking, particularly by strengthening border security and increasing the budget to aid the victims of human trafficking and drafting of The Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018. The Bill also includes provision for rehabilitation of victim, redressing physical and mental trauma as well as education and skill development. The sensitisation of the society is of utmost importance and the role of civil society stands tall here.
