At Citizens for Law and Democracy (CLAD), we are sculptors of dreams, architects of change and builders of a more equitable tomorrow. Our existence as a non-profit organization is rooted in a singular yet profound belief - every child, irrespective of their place of birth or circumstance, should be afforded the same opportunities. Opportunities to learn, to grow, to realize their inherent potential
Our vision is ambitious yet grounded. We dream of an India where every child, regardless of their background, has the means to realize their potential. In our India, there are no barriers, just bridges. Barriers that were once fortified by the lack of linguistic proficiency are shattered and replaced by bridges of opportunities, made strong by an equitable educational system
Founder & President
As an individual with a passion for education and social justice. I witnessed firsthand, the significant barrier that the English language creates for economically disadvantaged and rural students seeking to advance economically. Combining my local, national, and international experiences, I established CLAD, a Non-profit organization dedicated to advancing educational equity by removing language obstacles and equipping underprivileged students with the skills necessary to access opportunities.
Co-Founder & General Secretary
While I was in high school and college, I often felt as though my limited command of the English language was preventing me from accessing numerous opportunities. Based on my experiences in the southern, northern, and northeastern states of India, I realized that CLAD (Citizens for Law and Democracy) (an NGO) is the appropriate place for my mission. CLAD defines its mission as advancing educational equity by removing language barriers. I became involved in its emergence and co-founded CLAD, currently serving as its General Secretary.
