Education is central to the mission of National Civil Society (NCS), not only as a tool for personal growth but as a foundation for social transformation. NCS believes that when people are informed, they are empowered to participate in change; whether it’s accessing services, protecting the environment, or standing up for their rights.
As an officially recognized UN SDG Book Publishing Partner, NCS creates and distributes learning materials that make the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) understandable for students, youth, and everyday citizens. These publications use simple language, relatable stories, and practical exercises to teach values like peace, sustainability, equality, and civic responsibility. Designed for use in schools, community centers, and homes, these resources aim to spark lifelong awareness and responsible behaviour.
Beyond publishing, NCS conducts awareness campaigns, school workshops, and youth leadership programs that promote environmental education, legal literacy, and health awareness. Collaborating with educators, local governments, and international partners, these programs engage students in both classroom and real-world learning.
Special focus is given to content in regional languages, ensuring that education reaches beyond urban and English-speaking audiences. NCS also trains volunteers and teachers to use these materials effectively in formal and informal learning spaces.
By combining educational outreach with high-quality publications, NCS promotes not just access to knowledge; but the ability to apply it meaningfully. Its goal is to build a generation that understands both their rights and responsibilities and is equipped to shape a more just, sustainable, and informed society.
In collaboration with ARC and under UN recognition, NCS publishes simplified books that introduce children, youth, and citizens to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These books use real-life examples, illustrations, and relatable stories to explain complex global challenges in a way that’s easy to understand and act upon. Distributed in schools, libraries, and training centers across India, they serve as tools for building informed and responsible communities. The goal is to spark meaningful dialogue and action at every level of society by making global knowledge accessible in regional languages and culturally relevant formats.
NCS runs educational campaigns that promote peace, tolerance, civic duty, and global responsibility. These campaigns engage schools, youth groups, and civil society organizations in activities such as poster competitions, workshops, and public dialogues. Aligned with the UN SDGs and in partnership with groups like the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG), these initiatives aim to create a culture of non-violence, mutual respect, and active citizenship. Through storytelling, discussions, and service-based learning, NCS fosters awareness of global issues and inspires local solutions that support peace, justice, and cooperation.
NCS invests in the next generation by building platforms for youth leadership and civic participation. Programs include public speaking workshops, environmental clubs, community volunteering, and training in disaster preparedness. Participants learn to address real-life challenges with empathy and skill, transforming ideas into action. These leadership efforts help shape confident, socially responsible individuals prepared to contribute to national development and global goals. NCS ensures that every youth, regardless of background, has the opportunity to lead, learn, and create positive change in their communities.
