CMCA India is a 11 year old non-profit organization head-quartered in Bangalore focusing on children and youth, seeking to strengthen democracy through active citizenship. CMCA is working with schools across 6 cities promoting democracy, citizenship values and civic awareness among youth. CMCA has also begun its first intervention in a rural school and a credit in a leading college.
CMCA strongly believes that 'active citizens' are core to building a strong democracy, especially in a diverse and vast country like India. The extent to which the citizens imbibe and promote the ideals of secularism and equality and are aware and participate in governance and democratic processes determines how strong a nation we build. CMCA has an experimental curriculum, which makes children and youth at CMCA clubs not only aware of their constitutional rights and responsibilities but also gives them an opportunity to participate in solving problems on these issues in their local communities.
Fund Usage:
It will be utilized for running civic clubs in all our member schools across India and to expand our programme in rural areas.
