Geneva [Switzerland], March 24 (ANI): At the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Hansraj Singh, Strategic & Partnership Officer of Sambhali Trust, highlighted India’s expanding role in advancing human rights through grassroots initiatives.
Delivering an oral statement, he welcomed the adoption of outcomes under the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), calling it a vital platform for dialogue, cooperation and inclusive progress among nations.
Singh pointed to India’s growing emphasis on education, women’s empowerment and skill development at community level, noting that locally driven initiatives—especially vocational training and women’s programs—are creating sustainable livelihoods and driving social transformation.
Drawing on Sambhali Trust’s work, he said community-based models show how global human rights commitments can be translated into concrete action on the ground.
These initiatives, he added, help build inclusive societies by improving access to education, dignity and economic independence.
He urged stronger collaboration between governments and civil society and continued knowledge sharing and capacity-building to amplify the global impact of human rights programmes.
Reaffirming the organization’s commitment, Singh said Sambhali Trust will continue working toward inclusive, sustainable development, with India serving as an example of grassroots-driven progress on the world stage. (ANI)
