We as an NGO, always aim at ensuring a just society, where inequalities and discrimination are curbed, where people have their dignity preserved and equal rights come in the share of everyone. With this very aim as its basis, APNA looks forward to a new and advanced vision, a vision of E-PARTICIPATION.
Though growth could be seen everywhere in the country, the real question on the table is, whether everyone is getting an equal opportunity to avail the benefits of technological developments? The answer to that would be NO. There are only a few sections of society that are benefitting from the growing and advanced technology - the privileged ones.
Often the poorer and illiterate sections of the society suffer exploitation and deteriorating living standards. A very crucial factor contributing to this would be their lack of knowledge and access to technology and digital advancement, where everything is available and accessible for people living in an urban area just by a touch on their mobile screen, life is simply tougher for tribal and rural people in this case where they have to stand in line for hours and compromise with their daily wages just to cope up with digital India.
APNA is determined to address this issue in 2020, as it foresees the fruits this initiative will bear at the end of the day.
As we aspire for an inclusive society, a society that is equal in every aspect, where people have equal and easy access to facilities and their rights we, therefore, take our premises for Sustainable Development Goals- 10 (SDG10) that lays its objective as reduced inequalities, that very well complements our vision and objective of E-PARTICIPATION and inclusive society.
Furthermore, to give strong footings to this very objective, we plan to take steps at the grassroots level, starting with providing basic knowledge and digital skills at the disposal of the society, namely tribal, rural and poor sections.
As the foundation has been laid down, an adjacent framework shall go along with it that specifies steps and the work will take place in accordance with that very framework. APNA ensures the procedure and steps to be in a manner that would ensure and preserve the very nature of this organization, i.e. just and fair society, to create an umbrella that would facilitate everyone in the right manner.
