We support more than 40 organisations that work with people and youth collectives.
These collectives help and encourage individuals and communities to practise and uphold constitutional values such as social justice, equality, fraternity, diversity and plurality, by enabling action, value shift and active citizenship in various spaces such as colleges and schools.
Our grant partners in this area are usually civil society organisations working on social justice issues using the lens of constitutional values. We also focus on young people, especially the marginalised youth in rural areas.
We encourage our partners to design and execute asocial action projects in the community. We also seek to bring people of diverse identities through community engagements, thus creating an opportunity for them to develop a sense of fraternity and solidarity as they address an issue. Our grants partners also carry out community mapping to identify divisive issues and factors.
We also support organisations that use theatre, music and other forms of art to connect with communities as they celebrate the Constitution and the idea of India embedded in it.
Our work in this area helps strengthen the idea of democracy and fraternity among citizens. It also helps them identify and prevent discrimination and exclusion within communities.
Awareness of constitutional values and rights boosts the ordinary citizen’s confidence in questioning social norms and practices around them, and also collaborate with fellow citizens to execute social action projects that impact the most marginalised communities.
In the area of Constitutional Values, we work through our partners.
