Samvidhan Live – The Jagrik Project
An initiative by ComMutiny- The Youth Collective and its forum members, Samvidhan LIVE The Jagrik Project is a journey to engage young Jagriks (Jagruk Nagrik Aware Citizens) between the ages of 14 to 30 years in different parts of the country to experience the Constitution. We believe ownership of common spaces is a crying need of the hour. Ownership cannot be given in classrooms. It has to be taken on the streets. Samvidhan LIVE The Jagrik Project, is building young people’s capacities for meeting this challenge as they reflact (reflect+act) in the real world. Through this public initiative, young people will experience how the rights and duties in our constitution are being lived, and report back their experiences to rest of the world.
ComMutiny The Youth Collective along with a coalition of over 30 civil society organisations came together to run Samvidhan LIVE – The Jagrik Project across 16 states of the country. The coalition partners work with a diverse crosssection of young people – urban, rural, college graduates, drop outs, dalits, tribals, religious minorities, young men and women. Through this process the initiative has brought out the voices of youth from diverse and marginalised sections of population and shared the lived experience of the Constitution. Designed in the format of a reallife simulation, Samvidhan LIVE has created a platform for young people to live the ground realities of the Constitution, be aware of their fundamental rights, understand the significance of their fundamental duties, and imbibe the values enshrined in the Constitution of India. Over 480 young Jagriks (Jagrik = Jagruk (aware) + Nagrik (citizen)) around the country, engaged through 22 organisations, have come together for this unusual game, and to address their quest for fun and learning.
