2. Why Samajh Shakti Is Needed
Across rural, semi-urban and underserved communities, people may face awareness gaps related to child safety, women’s rights, digital risks, emotional wellbeing, civic responsibilities and social inclusion.
- Limited awareness of child safety, boundaries and help-seeking
- Limited awareness of women’s rights and available support systems
- Increasing exposure to digital scams and online safety risks
- Limited awareness of life skills, communication and responsible behaviour
- Limited awareness of government schemes and support services
- Gaps in elderly and disability inclusion awareness
- Gender stereotypes and insensitive social behaviour
- Limited awareness of community reporting and support pathways
Samajh Shakti addresses these gaps through practical, community-based awareness and education.
