Event Detailed Description
The Legal Aid Clinic and Pro Bono Club, School of Law, Galgotias University, organized a comprehensive Human Rights Awareness Programme on 12 December 2025, at the Senior Secondary Government School, Kansara Village, Uttar Pradesh. This initiative was strategically designed to bridge the gap between academic legal theory and practical community sensitization, ensuring that fundamental rights are recognized as "everyday essentials" rather than abstract concepts.
Creative Advocacy through Nukkad Natak A central feature of the outreach was the performance of a Nukkad Natak (street play) titled “Manav Adhikar – Roz Ki Zarurat”. Student volunteers from the School of Law utilized this medium to portray critical socio-legal issues, including the right to education, the right to health, and the necessity of equality and personal safety. By using relatable characters and powerful narration, the performers effectively communicated that human rights are intrinsic to the daily survival and dignity of every individual.
Global Perspectives and Cross-Cultural Dialogue The program was significantly enriched by the presence of international students from Singapore and Malaysia, who were visiting the campus on an academic exchange. Their participation underscored the universality of human rights, demonstrating that these principles transcend national borders. This interaction allowed local school students to engage in a rare cross-cultural dialogue, broadening their understanding of global citizenship and shared human values.
Interactive Visual Literacy Complementing the performances was an interactive poster exhibition. Law students displayed and explained visual aids focused on themes like "Education for All" and "Health as a Basic Right". This session encouraged students to move beyond passive listening; they were invited to ask questions, share personal experiences, and analyse how these rights apply to their specific social environment.
In conclusion, the programme successfully fostered a culture of empathy and rights-awareness, standing as a meaningful step toward strengthening the social fabric of Kansara Village
