Shiksha

Through our Shiksha initiative, Fight4Rights worked to confront the deep-rooted issue of educational inequality by blending material support, skill development, and advocacy. The campaign raised over ₹45,000 to provide essential stationery supplies—including notebooks, pencils, sketch pens, bags, and picture books—ensuring that underprivileged students had the basic tools needed to pursue learning with dignity. In total, the project directly impacted more than 70 children, enabling them to participate more actively in their education.

But Shiksha went beyond distributing resources. Recognising that education must nurture the whole child, the initiative introduced a series of interactive masterclasses in areas such as emotional management, public speaking, creative writing, football, singing, and chess. These sessions gave students opportunities to discover new passions, build confidence, and develop life skills often overlooked in traditional classrooms. The programme also supported infrastructural improvements at a partner school, creating a more inclusive and conducive environment for learning.

Alongside on-the-ground efforts, Shiksha leveraged a social media campaign to spotlight how gender, socioeconomic status, and regional disparities continue to limit access to education in India. By raising awareness of these systemic barriers, the initiative connected local action to the broader framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

In combining resources, holistic learning, and advocacy, Shiksha not only equipped students with immediate support but also empowered them with the confidence and opportunities to imagine a brighter future.
