Samta Nyay Kendra is an initiative of the Association of Professional Social Workers &amp; Development Practitioners (APSWDP), running since 2021. It was initiated by a team of social work professionals and youth with the vision of promoting social justice, legal awareness, equality, empowerment and access to rights among vulnerable and underserved communities.
The initiative was started under the leadership of Mrs. Rekha Trivedi, who played an important role in establishing the project and bringing together professionals and young volunteers to work towards community empowerment and social justice.
Samta Nyay Kendra is one of the key verticals through which APSWDP works towards social development, community empowerment and social justice. The initiative focuses on creating awareness about rights, connecting people with appropriate support and services, encouraging community participation, and empowering individuals and communities to address social challenges.
Over the years, the project has grown through the active involvement of social work professionals, youth volunteers, community members and partner organisations. It provides a platform for people to understand their rights, access guidance and support, and become more empowered to address issues affecting their lives.
For the last two years, the initiative has been led and supervised by Ankita Rani, who has been actively coordinating its activities, youth and volunteer engagement, outreach efforts, documentation and overall implementation, with continued support from the APSWDP team and associated stakeholders.
The project continues to work towards building a more aware, inclusive, empowered and socially just community.

Samta Nyay Kendra

I am a youth development professional, social impact practitioner, digital communicator, and graduate from Panjab University, with a background in International Relations and Defence Journalism. I am committed to social inclusion, youth leadership, environmental action, sports inclusion, and grassroots development.
I have actively worked with the Association of Professional Social Workers and Development Practitioners (APSWDP), contributing to social development initiatives through community mobilisation, digital communication, project coordination, graphic design, awareness campaigns, and outreach.
I have been closely involved with Samta Nyay Kendra, an initiative focused on the legal, social, and economic empowerment of transgender persons and other marginalised communities. My work includes connecting communities with legal aid, identity documentation, social security schemes, education, skilling, livelihood opportunities, financial inclusion, and awareness programmes. Through this work, I have contributed to initiatives reaching 1,000+ community members, with 3,000+ people reached, 50+ awareness programmes, 100+ volunteers, and multiple institutional partnerships.
I have also been actively associated with the Wheelchair Cricket Federation of India (WCFI), contributing to initiatives promoting inclusive sports, disability empowerment, youth participation, and social integration. Through wheelchair cricket programmes and championships, I have worked alongside athletes with disabilities and supported efforts to create platforms where sporting talent, dignity, confidence, and equal opportunity come together. I believe sport can be a powerful tool for breaking social barriers and changing perceptions around disability.
My interests and experience also extend to youth development, climate action, disaster resilience, community leadership, and environmental sustainability. I have been associated with initiatives involving the Global Youth Federation, Youth4COP, and climate leadership programmes, and have participated in national and international youth platforms connected with COP28, COP29, and UNCCD COP16.
I possess professional skills in digital marketing, content writing, SEO, Google Ads, social media management, Canva, graphic design, WordPress, presentation design, video editing, and event coordination, along with practical experience in healthcare communication, social development, digital outreach, and event management.
I strongly believe that real change begins at the grassroots—when inclusion becomes participation, education becomes empowerment, skills create independence, sports create confidence, and legal rights become accessible to everyone.
My vision is to contribute towards an inclusive, equitable, sustainable, and empowered society, while inspiring young people to become active contributors to social development and nation-building.

Siwar is a youth-led sustainability initiative from Saudi Arabia that uses technology, digital communities, and volunteering to bridge the gap between environmental awareness and real-life action. The project was created around a simple challenge: young people are increasingly aware of climate and sustainability issues, yet environmental information is often technical, fragmented, and disconnected from the decisions they make in everyday life. Siwar transforms this knowledge into accessible content, meaningful participation, and practical opportunities for action.
Through youth-focused digital content, interactive communities, environmental campaigns, challenges, volunteer-led activities, and collaborations with universities and youth communities, Siwar creates an ecosystem where young people can learn, participate, contribute their skills, and become advocates for sustainable change. Technology is not treated simply as a communication channel, but as a tool to make sustainability more accessible, engaging, scalable, and relevant to a digitally connected generation.
Since its launch in January 2026, Siwar has reached more than 4,450 beneficiaries, generated over 100,000 digital views within one month, published more than 55 educational and awareness-focused posts, and delivered 5+ community initiatives. Volunteers contribute across research, content creation, design, technology, community engagement, and initiative development, allowing young people themselves to become part of creating the environmental impact.
Siwar's long-term ambition is to build a generation that does not only understand sustainability, but practices and leads it. By the end of 2027, the initiative aims to empower more than 20,000 young people, expand its volunteer network and institutional partnerships, and develop technology-driven programs, environmental challenges, workshops, and community initiatives that translate awareness into measurable and lasting impact.
Ultimately, Siwar seeks to make sustainability part of how young people learn, connect, participate, innovate, and make everyday decisions, contributing to Saudi Arabia's sustainability ambitions and creating a scalable youth-driven model for environmental action.
