Today, India marks 73 years of freedom. Not only is it an occasion to commemorate, but it also reminds us to be responsible and respectful citizens. It is the day when we ought to pay tribute to the sacrifices and bravery of our servicemen and soldiers protecting the nation.
We at Utthaan strive to make India free from the shackles of social evils that exist in the society, to achieve freedom in a more holistic sense.

With the entire world caught in a whirlwind due to the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more issues are arising day by day. Amongst numerous other problems, the plastic pollution due to improper disposal of masks is increasing at an alarming rate. Around 75% of the used masks, as well as other pandemic-related waste, is ending up in landfills, or floating in the seas. Like all battles, this one needs to be fought too.

Doctors, policemen and civic workers are doing everything they can for our safety, and here's our chance to work towards nature's safety. Making sure that our masks are disposed off properly is one of the smallest acts of kindness towards the environment.

India is home to six crore alcohol addicts, more than the population of 172 world nations, including Italy. 56% of the people living in slum communities in India are victims of substance and alcohol abuse.

These facts are scary but what's even scarier is the extent of damage that drug addiction can cause to one’s body and mind.

UN witnesses the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking to emphasize the need to improve the understanding of the world drug problem and how greater cooperation can save those affected.

Let's reaffirm our commitment to a drug abuse-free society and value ourselves, making and propagating healthy choices against drug abuse!

“The hands which were meant for holding pens and books are washing dishes and serving plates”

It is incredibly sad that India, the land of hopes, dreams and aspirations, has so many children who are forced to face drudgery every single day without any ray of hope for a better future. This crime of child labour is a social evil that should be eradicated at all costs.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has created a global health crisis that has had a deep impact on the way we perceive our world and our everyday lives. Not only has it created a sense of looming danger and uncertainty, it has become a bearer of bad news for migrant workers in the entire country.

Due to this prevailing pandemic, many migrant workers are facing dire conditions with regard to food, shelter, access to proper healthcare facilities. However, The Government of India, is taking numerous measures to make it easier for each and every person to feel secure.

From facilitating free food and accommodation to setting up various camps, the government is trying its best with the limited resources to ease the situation. What they need, in return, is OUR SUPPORT to strengthen their fight against COVID 19 and keep each and every citizen healthy.

Stocked refrigerators and safe shelters are big blessings to have, especially in such testing times.

However, not everyone has enough means. Some of us are privileged but what really matters is what we make of that privilege.

If each one of us contributes in our own little ways then we can together reach out to the millions of people who have been left without livelihood, food and shelter. Our collective efforts can help arm thousands hit by despair to fight this pandemic.

The Covid-19 outbreak has affected all segments of the population and has proved the most detrimental for the vulnerable sections including homeless people, daily wage workers, migrant labourers, older persons and poor people.

We belong to the privileged slice of society that we have a roof over your head and ample food in these tough times. The plight of these people put things in a different perspective, one which is not acknowledged by the society.

“They toil throughout the day, in the heat and the rain, and go on working with smiles on their faces that we don’t even bother to look at.“

This Labour Day, we pay our tribute to all the essential workers who work tirelessly to make our lives easier and safer. Their hardwork is truly inspiring. They are the reason our lives are still going on smoothly, because they owned up to the responsibility of doing everything they can in this fight against the pandemic.
They are truly the backbone of our society.

Let's be grateful for their work, not just today, not just during the pandemic, but for all years to come because they deserve every bit of it.

She needed a hero. But one day, she discovered that she was fierce and strong, and full of fire. So, she became one.

A woman in any role should be celebrated and honoured, be it, a sister, a wife, a daughter or a mother.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the heroes out there!

The strength of every individual taken together will break the shackles that tie down this nation.

The strength of the people of the cities, suburbs, villages and slums. All together.
Let's help one another rise above the storm and build a stronger republic.

Happy Republic Day!

"The skyline of a city changes with time. Despite the glimmering skylines, there are places that always grow and never recede, the slums."

Utthaan aims to help the underprivileged break free from the clutches of poverty, illiteracy and disease. With renewed vigour, we look forward to give wings to their dreams this new year.

Wishing all of you a Happy New Year!!

“Whoever you are, wherever you are, sanitation is your human right.”
And yet, today, 4.2 billion people have to live without access to basic sanitation.

As it is important to have access to food and water, it is equally important for every human being to have access to a clean toilet to maintain their health, well-being and basic human dignity. How can anyone break free from the shackles of poverty without any access to sanitation?

This World Toilet Day, play your part in ensuring that the problem of lack of access to toilets is flushed out as soon as possible.

As Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"

Corruption, crimes, hunger, poverty, climate change. The lack of education is one of the root causes for the plight of the society we live in.

Today, 57 million children across the globe remain out of school. Education is not only a right, but a passport to human development which opens doors, expanding opportunities and freedom.

This National Education Day, let's all take up the responsibility to help educate as many as we can to usher in an era where enlightenment reigns supreme.

Despite being illegal, child labour is often ignored and encouraged by all of us, intentionally or unintentionally, pushing these underprivileged children further into a dark future. 1 out of every 4 children in India is involved in child labour, leading to a whopping 33 million child labourers in the country between the age of 5-18.

This World Day against Child Labour, Project Utthaan aims to fight this evil practice and requests you to do your part.

Most women and girls menstruate for about 60 out of the 365 days in a year, yet this normal bodily function is still met with silence, taboos and stigma.
For these 60 days, the women, while experiencing physical discomfort, have to struggle to get on with their lives like they otherwise would. Treated as outcasts in their own homes, girls who are menstruating are not allowed to go to the temple or enter the kitchen. Moreover, about 80% of women in the country do not have access to sanitary napkins.
Girls and women in the slum community are shy to even talk about periods let alone share problems pertaining to menstrual hygiene, that they might be facing. Most have never used a sanitary napkin in their lives and are content using poor substitutes like cloth and paper. This sorry situation was born not out of lack of affordability or availability but due to an overwhelming lack of awareness.
Project Utthaan intends to break the silence around menstruation, above all.

"Although we take it for granted, sanitation is a physical measure that has probably done more to increase human life span than any other drug or surgery."
Everyday, the residents of the slum community in the vicinity of SSCBS consume contaminated water. The children, oblivious to the potential health hazard, draw water from a drainage pipe, itself surrounded by filth. The fact that around 80 slum dwellers are compelled to take their bath within a short span of an hour stands glaring witness to the acute paucity of water.
Adding to the menace, everyone, from children to adults, defecate in the open, despite the presence of a community toilet nearby. Open defecation is no more out of compulsion, but a habit.
Project Utthaan aims to fight such grave evils with awareness and dynamic initiatives.
The human right to water and sanitation was recognised by the UN General Assembly back in 2010, it is high time we ensure that it is realised in completeness.
