About Me
I ,Neerja Bhutani, am honored to stand before you today as both an educator and a passionate advocate for civic responsibility. Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of being closely associated with the Children’s Movement for Civic Awareness (CMCA), an organization that has profoundly shaped my understanding of active citizenship and the transformative power of civic education.
In my role as an educator, I have always believed that schools are not just places of academic learning but also the bedrock of character building and societal change. Through my association with CMCA, I have worked tirelessly to instill in young minds a sense of ownership toward their community, an appreciation for democratic values, and a commitment to sustainability. We at CMCA aim to create informed and empathetic citizens who are ready to shape a better tomorrow.
Appeal
I am raising funds for CMCA that has been doing transformative work with children, for over 2 decades now. Our weekly programmes in schools are preparing children with 21st Century Skills so that they have a better future. In rural India, they are thronging to Panchayat Libraries, where our Activity Cards are opening the world for children who have not seen anything beyond their village. Apart from Life Skills & Citizenship values, children are learning about Digital literacy, Financial literacy and in bringing about changes in their village. Everywhere, children have demonstrated a positive change in attitude towards civic sense, gender, environmental consciousness & in treating people fairly and with empathy. We are reaching about 170,000 children every year. There are over 300 million children in India who need this education for their own success and growth. I need your support to help CMCA reach out to them.
