The challenge is twofold. Firstly, creating awareness about digital media forms that will be created by the marginalized communities, and secondly, creating advocacy efforts to reach out to various membersof the civil society. Efforts have to be taken to find media partners at the local, regional and international levels to showcase grassroots stories of exploitation and social justice and leverage the lopsided-ness of coverage. The media resource centres, well equipped with books, journals, photographs, slides, puppets, video documentaries, flannel stories, etc. will help further this cause. The network of small community-based organisations across Maharashtra will work together to facilitate the emergence of new grassroots realities.
The unit will also house a sub-unit of youth leadership and will partner with the ‘AnubhavShiksha’ network in Maharashtra to deepen youth actions and expressions.
