Pravah

Pravah is a registered non-profit organisation based in New Delhi, India. We work with adolescents, youth organisations and institutions working with young people to impact issues of social justice through youth citizenship action. Pravah began in 1992 when a group of young professionals in their early twenties responded to the Babri Masjid demolition and the wave of communal riots and bloodshed that followed before and after the event. They mobilised public opinion against the violence through campaigns and other creative platforms. From a loose group of young individuals, Pravah became a registered organisation in 1993.
