“If you won’t study you will become a sweeper”
This has been the mindset of most people in the urban locality where most of the people belong to the upper middle class and rich families, children have heard this from a younger age and hence always felt that the profession of the un organised sector (ie: Safaikaramchari, Security guard, House help, Construction worker, Street vendors etc.) is not important. With my project I want to try to change this mindset by creating workshops which will in a subtle way push the children from urban schools studying in 9th and 10th standard to be in their shoes and realise their problems and reasons of being who they are and how our country cannot run without the unorganised.

Hence this workshop aims to bring empathy towards the “deserving” (the unorganised) to feel important and inclusive to be part of the larger society. The change can be as little as acknowledging their importance, but this could lead to bigger ideas for the un
organised to make them feel inclusive in the society as whole.
