CMCA is a non-profit organization that aims to empower India’s youth towards being civic-minded, socially conscious citizens who participate in solving problems and uphold democratic values in all spheres of life. Such individuals are called active citizens, and we encourage school students and college-age youth to become concerned, thinking, and active citizens through our research-backed Citizenship and Life Skills Education programmes.
Our programmes are tailored for young people at school, college, or rural libraries, and are created by our team of specialists based on pedagogy and our strategic objectives, lessons from our own monitoring of our programmes, and our continuous research of children’s attitudes towards civic issues. The curriculum for our citizenship education programmes is our strength, incorporating experiential learning, group work, debates, stories, and more to help students build knowledge themselves rather than spoon-feeding the ideas at which we hope they will arrive. Simultaneously, we work towards integrating Citizenship and Life Skills Education into regular educational policies and practices through our policy research and advocacy efforts.
You believe in true democracy and support Active Citizenship, and we think everyone should know it. Display the CMCA Member web badge on your organisation's site if you are a member school or a member college. If you are our partner or donor, then display the CMCA Partner web badge on your site. Let's create an online community of Active Citizens to go with our offline one!
