Established in 1999, Public Advocacy Initiatives for Rights and Values in India (PAIRVI) operates at the vital intersection of development and social justice. Utilizing a rights-based approach, the organization serves as a critical bridge for grassroots and community-based organizations that often lack access to professional development. By providing essential advocacy support and capacity building, PAIRVI empowers these local entities to challenge systemic inequalities and navigate complex socio-political landscapes.
Core Pillars and Thematic Focus
The organization’s work is built upon the pillars of policy advocacy, capacity building, and the rigorous protection of human rights. PAIRVI conducts in-depth policy analysis to influence legislative change while strengthening the skills of marginalized groups through specialized training. These efforts are applied across several key thematic areas, including environmental sustainability—addressing climate change and food security—as well as economic justice and social equity through the promotion of sustainable agriculture and affirmative action.
Vision and Mission for Social Change
PAIRVI is driven by a vision to foster a just, equitable, and growth-oriented society where individual rights are upheld and discrimination based on caste, community, or gender is eradicated. By empowering the underprivileged to secure their own rights, the organization seeks to create lasting systemic shifts. Its specific mission is to amplify the advocacy efforts of grassroots organizations in North India, enabling them to effectively champion the causes of marginalized communities in the pursuit of social justice and democratic human rights.
