A student’s life is incomplete without extracurricular activities. And not just any activities but
extracurricular activities that have an impact on the society!!! How can I, a college student in XYZ Law University/College, impact society through my extracurricular activities, you ask? Well, we have the answer.

WELCOME TO THE CENTRE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE’S AGENTS FOR CHANGE PROGRAMME.

All the dreamers and doers out there, the Agents for Change Programme is THE extracurricular activity you need in your life. University spaces need to be more diverse,
democratic and receptive to open and uninhibited discourse on social issues. But that is only possible if you, the students on campus, make it so. And how you can do it is by becoming
an Agent for Change.

SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE‘AGENTS FOR CHANGE’ PROGRAMME?

The Agents for Change Programme is an initiative directed towards harnessing the inimitable
force that is our student community towards creating a positive impact on society, whilst fostering a sense of learning and sensitizing on the go. The idea is to break the status quo of
lethargy and apathy among students towards issues of social importance.

WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME AN AGENT FOR CHANGE?

The Agents for Change Programme is designed as the culmination of academic knowledge,
organizational skills and leadership ability, providing students with an opportunity to further
enhance their personal and professional expertise while being Agents for Change on their
respective campuses.
Also, as an organization which realizes its objectives through an intimate engagement with
grassroots realities, association with the Centre for Social Justice provides an understanding
on how legal empowerment can contribute to social change. This is particularly useful for
students looking to work in the fields of human rights, policy-research, developmental
governance or social justice lawyering.

WHAT CAN YOU DO AS AN AGENT FOR CHANGE ON YOUR CAMPUS?
As an Agent for Change, you can :-

• Organize social awareness events on campus.
• Write articles for the CSJ blog.
• Organize quiz, debate and judgment writing competitions on campus.
• Organize creativity exploration events involving arts and crafts, photography etc.
  such as exhibitions to raise awareness on social issues.
• Learn to exercise basic rights such as your right to information,
  by filing RTIs to solve local issues etc.
  Come up with innovative ideas to make this Programme a true success in fulfilling its mandate of generating spontaneous interest in social issues among the students of today (a.k.a the leaders of tomorrow).
