ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM
The Active Citizenship Program by Nagrik Adhikar Manch aims to encourage and empower citizens to actively participate in the social and political issues of their community and country, including beyond simply voting or using government-provided services. This includes involvement in local policy-making processes, participating in community meetings (such as Mohalla Sabhas), and interacting with institutions.

Active citizenship programs often work to address important issues such as social and environmental justice.
WORK ON CLIMATE CHANGE
The Nagrik Adhikar Manch is a community-based organization that works with communities in the urban slums of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The Nagrik Adhikar Manch primarily works to protect the fundamental rights and social security of the urban poor. However, the organization clearly understands that in the current environment, climate justice is deeply connected to social justice. In today’s environment, climate change has the greatest adverse impact on the urban poor, affecting their livelihoods, income, health, and daily routine. To this end, the Nagrik Adhikar Manch is discussing the causes of climate change in urban slums and strategically preparing volunteers to spread the word about climate change to as many people as possible. Recently, the organization conducted a training program for 25 Climate Change Partners on the issue of tongs. These Partners are now working to raise awareness about climate change by discussing the issue on the ground in their villages and settlements.
