'community-identity', which is so often absent in consumerist cultures
and over-sized cities. |

Department of Legal Literacy & Publication |
| |
 |
'Environment of People' is an ideal to be realized through education
and participation. The first step to attain this goal is through awareness
camps and participatory programmes organized and conducted in the
grass root level for different target groups, with special thrust
on rural folk and labor forces. Besides, awarness sessions with special
impetus to Human Rights and Environmental Legislations are organized
in schools and colleges. Publication of journals, brochures, news-letters,
wall-posters, audio-visual programmes etc. are used in promoting legal
literacy in the society. |
|

Department of Human Rights Education |
| |
 |
Study camps, seminars, street theatre, public meetings etc are regularly
and systematically organized at educational institutions, youth clubs
and for rural population at various levels on relevant aspects of
human rights. Verbal and visual media are effectively used for human
rights education. |

Interdependence of sound environmental management and sustainable
development is vital with respect to the survival of the universe.
Awareness raising programmes for the public, environmental advocacy
in courts, extensive campaign in educational institutions on how to
reduce wastage, encourage recycling and minimise pollution. As an
integral aspect of health, we plan to focus our energies on counseling

Department of Development and Human Rights |
| |
 |
The inextricable link between human rights and development has been
constantly re-affirmed and today it is no longer possible to envisage
national development without taking into account the human rights
scenario. Hence, developmental planning and schemes of the government
as well as private agencies would be examined/studied & the violation
of human rights arising on a sequel would be exposed & people made
aware of. |
|
|
Department for the Empowerment of Women |
| |
 |
Exploited and battered, the Indian woman is a silent embodiment of
desertion and discrimination on all fronts. Hence, we would focus
on conscientizing women to battle against atrocities and harassment
perpetrated on them & availability of legal resources, strengthen
their inner resources, assert themselves & make conscious choices
in their lives. Awareness would be generated on issues relating to
women's self-help activities, the social & economic impact of development
on women would be assessed and their experiences would be documented. |

Department to defend the Constitutional rights of
Dalits and Tribals |
| |
 |
Marginalized by the present model of development emphasizing privatisation
& profit - making, the dalits and tribals have been passive victims
of its brutal consequences. Compelled to give up their native lifestyle
focusing on community ownership of resources and environment friendly
life, they form the last rung of the developmental ladder. We plan
to reach out to the marginalised & deprived communities and join in
their struggle for preserving their identity and culture and conscientizing
them as far as their constitutional rights are concerned. |
|
|
Department to defend constitutional rights of children |
| |
 |
Despite constitutional provisions for compulsory child education and
prohibition of child labour, India has the largest number of working
children and street children exposed to all forms of exploitation.
We plan to organise children who are victims of ill-treatment and
torture, create non-formal resources of education and document experiences
of children who have been victims of torture, abduction and kidnapping
to create public opinion. |
|
|
Department of Research and Documentation |
| |
 |
To bridge the gap between social action and social research, we
plan to undertake documentation of field level experiences, analyse
data systematically and maintain rich reading, audio and visual material
which will provide us with theoretical inputs for our field level
action and confer upon the public an insight into social developments.
This department would also focus on demystification of law and functioning
of legal system by making available information. |
