The training capacitated the youth about the importance of Citizenship and the Rights. It was very good start to 38 youth (Male 21 & 17 Female) who joined the Basic Module 2, ‘Democracy & Citizenship’ to know about their Human Rights and the Fundamental Rights. The youth are empowered to become responsible and committed citizens of our country. At the end of the training, the participants are enthused to be a committed person to stand for their society.
Aleena: Pursuing in XII STD she expressed that this training had empowered her to be a committed and responsible person. This topic though I have studied but I didn’t have the in-depth knowledge as I gained from this training and the meaning of being a good citizen. Also, concretely I learned about the merits and demerits of Democracy. This training made me to know and understand different crimes that taking place in the society and how to prevent the young generation from these heinous crimes. I really thank ISI for granting me this great opportunity to be part of this training
Anuja: ORC-Trainer: This training made me to think more deeply about the Fundamental and the Human Rights. While I attended this training, I was stirred to understand the existing Laws and the Judiciary also the system of functioning. End of the Programme I took the firm decision to create awareness among the people the importance of citizenship and Democracy.
Thara Joseph: BSc Nursing Student: Though The 1st training created a flatform for me to express myself freely and now the 2-module training is making me stronger to feel and think as a responsible person. I gained the knowledge on Indian Constitution and the value of each article in it which I was not known before. Though I knew about the injustice and inequality that is prevalent in society. I was indifferent to these situations, but now, after attending this training, my conscience tells me that I should not be silent but to be the voice of the voiceless.
