Our mission is to create good responsible citizenry, that can power India towards becoming a valued nation globally.
We firmly believe that citizens are the foundation of nation-building. Citizens as owners of this nation must discharge their duties to build sustain and lead India towards excellence. A citizen must be fully committed to the nation, and, besides acquiring the necessary skills and maintaining good health, should understand and uphold the guiding principles enshrined in Article 51A of the Constitution, intruduced through the 42nd amendment in 1976. This Artiicle outlines the Fundamental Duties of every citizen, and acts as a reminder that citizenship involves responsibilities in addition to rights. It encourages ethical behaviour and contribution to the nations progress. In our mission, we work to inspire and enable every citizen – especially the youth, to uphold and practice the values enshrined in Article 51A, which are considered fundamental civic duties and moral obligations intended to guide behaviour, protect the environment and preserve national integrity.Through publications, programs, workshops, and community outreach, we promote responsible citizenship and nation-building.
The program of activities includes education on Fundamental Duties including civic responsibilities; mass rejection of violence for national unity and integrity; understanding the importance of health – healthy eating, exercise, and sleep; caring for the environment. Please visit our Programs page for more details on how we go about our business. Our activities are centred around a Pledge (that we specially created) committing the citizen to place the Nation first.
The health of a democracy depends primarily on the quality of its people. Cultivating good citizenry therefore becomes the cornerstone of a healthy and vibrant nation that takes pride in its democratic processes and systems. The Build India Group has been at the forefront of a movement to connect with students and youth to foster a “Nation First” approach as they are encouraged to think what they can do for the country rather than what the country can give them.
To expect citizens to perform well for the country, their health is also equally important. It is because “citizen’s health is country’s wealth”. This has also been part of our campaign.
