Rights & Social Justice

The Digital Samanta Saathi Program promotes equal, safe, and just digital spaces for all, addressing challenges like cyberbullying, harassment, and misinformation. It tackles issues faced by girls, women, boys, and marginalized communities, such as online abuse, toxic masculinity, and lack of digital literacy. The program fosters inclusive digital citizenship and mutual respect across genders.

The Samvidhan Setu Sathi Fellowship is a transformative program for youth (18–35) to live India’s constitutional values—justice, equality, liberty, dignity, and fraternity (Bandhutva). It reconnects young changemakers with India’s rich cultural heritage, promoting social harmony and ethical citizenship. The fellowship encourages reflection, unlearning, and action to build inclusive communities

In today’s digital era, online platforms are essential for education, work, expression, and social connection — but these spaces are not always equal, safe, or just.

• Girls and women face cyberbullying, online harassment, trolling, doxxing, and privacy violations.

• Boys and young men often encounter toxic masculinity, misinformation, and performance pressure online.

•  Marginalized communities lack digital literacy, awareness of rights, and access to support systems.
  
  

We believe digital spaces must uphold equity, safety, dignity, and freedom of expression for all.
This program is designed to:

✅ Promote inclusive digital literacy and strengthen digital citizenship as a core social justice issue
✅ Foster mutual respect and shared understanding between boys and girls
✅ Encourage boys and young men to become accountable, caring digital citizens

 Why This Fellowship?

India is home to a rich and diverse social fabric shaped by centuries of shared cultures, traditions, and wisdom. Our Constitution reflects this living heritage — rooted in justice, equality, liberty, dignity, and fraternity (Bandhutva).

As young citizens navigate a rapidly changing world, there is a growing need to reconnect with these constitutional values — not just as legal ideas, but as everyday principles that shape how we live, relate, and lead.

Samvidhan Setu Sathi Fellowship offers a space for youth to reflect, grow, and act — grounded in the spirit of social harmony, shared belonging, and ethical citizenship. It is a celebration of inclusive democratic values and an invitation to youth to become courageous citizens and bridge-builders in their communities.

🎯 Objectives of the Program

1. To Strengthen Youth Understanding and Practice of Constitutional Values
Enable young people to deeply engage with the principles of the Constitution — especially justice, equality, liberty, and Bandhutva — and become active ambassadors of these values in their communities.

2. To Foster Social Harmony through Shared Heritage (Sajhi Virasat)
Celebrate India’s diverse cultural roots by encouraging dialogue, collective reflection, and mutual respect, thereby promoting inclusion and peaceful coexistence.

3. To Build a Youth-led Movement for Bandhutva and Civic Responsibility
Develop a network of committed youth leaders ("Setu Sathis") who take forward local-level initiatives on non-discrimination, gender justice, and solidarity, grounded in the constitutional ethic of fraternity.

 Who Will Join the Fellowship?

This fellowship is meant for young individuals (aged 18–35) who wish to explore the soul of the Constitution, reflect on shared human values, and engage with society as compassionate and conscious citizens.

We welcome:

• Youth who seek meaning beyond slogans and want to live the values of justice, equality, dignity, and Bandhutva
  
  

• Those open to listening, unlearning, and transforming
  
  

• Individuals ready to examine their identity, privilege, and role in building inclusive communities
  
  

• People who want not just to act, but to become — grounded in democratic ethics
  
  

 What Change Will They Bring?

This fellowship begins with the inner journey — not just awareness., but action

As Setu Sathis, young people will:

• Learn to see themselves and others through the lens of shared humanity
  
  

• Recognize subtle forms of injustice and respond with empathy and understanding
  
  

• Embody the values of the Constitution in their daily lives — in how they speak, relate, and take responsibility
  
  

• Nurture Bandhutva in their surroundings — among peers, families, and wider communities
  
  

• Inspire others — not through slogans or show, but through quiet courage and ethical choices

Education is not just a classroom experience — it is the foundation for dignity, equality, and opportunity.
The Constitution of India enshrines the Right to Education (Article 21-A) as a Fundamental Right for every child aged 6–14 years, making it both a legal guarantee and a matter of social justice.
However, for millions of children in India, this right exists only on paper.
Poverty, migration, gender bias, lack of awareness, and inadequate learning support push countless children out of the school system every year.
For them, dropout is not just the loss of education — it is the loss of a fair chance at life.

The Problem

• High dropout rates due to poverty, migration, early marriage, and discrimination

• Weak foundational skills leading to academic disengagement

• Parents unaware of RTE provisions or hesitant to approach schools

• Girls disproportionately affected by safety issues and cultural norms

At Shiksha Setu – Wapsi Program, we believe that every child who has left school can find their way back — with the right support, awareness, and community mobilisation.
We work at the intersection of learning restoration and rights advocacy, ensuring that education is not a privilege for the few but a lived reality for all.

Objectives

• Re-enrolment: Identify and bring back out-of-school children to formal education.

• Retention: Support students to continue schooling through learning bridges and emotional motivation.

• Learning Recovery: Provide remedial education to cover foundational skill gaps.

• Rights Awareness: Educate parents and communities about the Right to Education and its legal protections.

• Gender Inclusion: Ensure equal access and safety for girls, addressing cultural and social barriers.

• Community Participation: Build local ownership for education through active engagement and advocacy.

Our Initiative – Shiksha Setu: Wapsi

4. Mobilise the community via rallies, wall murals, and street theatre

5. Mentor adolescents with life skills and gender equality sessions
