Key Initiatives
A. Focused Group Discussion on Uniting India Against Corruption
This initiative aimed to bring together citizens, students, professionals, and community leaders to openly discuss the causes, effects, and solutions to corruption in daily life.
Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) were organized in schools, colleges, and communities to promote civic awareness and dialogue.
Participants shared ideas for ensuring transparency in governance, improving public participation, and strengthening moral values.
The initiative encouraged youth to become “Change Ambassadors”, taking collective responsibility to report corruption and promote ethical conduct in their surroundings.
These discussions not only spread awareness but also helped in building a united front against corruption through informed action and moral strength.
B. Mobilising Youths for the Protection of Jal, Jungle, and Jameen
Recognizing that corruption often leads to the exploitation of natural resources, this initiative connected anti-corruption awareness with environmental justice — focusing on the protection of Jal (Water), Jungle (Forest), and Jameen (Land).
Youth-led campaigns and awareness drives were organized to promote the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources.
Volunteers were mobilized to work with local communities for clean water initiatives, afforestation programs, and land protection activities.
The movement highlighted that true patriotism means protecting both the integrity of governance and the integrity of nature.
Through active participation, the youth became powerful advocates for honest governance and environmental protection, embodying the spirit of a responsible and self-reliant India.
