Simple steps that will make a big difference

Direct Action

We think it is critical to support the vulnerable rural community at the block and village level, with community resource persons (CRPs) resident in the village being the agents of change — raising awareness rapidly and supporting migrants.

Action Research

We as a nation need to collectively understand better the public health crisis and the economic crisis — including the agriculture production crisis, the implications for water resources, and the loss of jobs for migrants and farm labour.

Support to Elected Representatives and Policy Advocacy

Our effort complements the work of democratically elected representatives, from local self government, to members of the legislative assemblies, to members of Parliament.
