Pravah is a non-profit organization based in New Delhi, India, working to impact issues of social justice through youth citizenship action.
It was in 1992 when a wave of violence and rise in communal thinking forced a group of young professionals in their early twenties, to stop observing passively and take action – something which we had forgotten to do for a long time.What started as a small campaign led in colonies and colleges to mobilize public opinion against the violence through creative mediums like theatre, later began to flow as Pravah. It now work with more than 40 Indian civil society groups as partners.
