ACTION FOR A RESILIENT TOMORROW (ART)

Ripples of change through ‘ART’

Action for a Resilient Tomorrow or ‘ART’ is a social impact initiative started by Tanuj Samaddar in 2025 and generously supported by the Peace Jam Foundation under the Billion Acts Peace Fellowship. With the motto of creating a better tomorrow for the underpriviledged school going children in the township of Rangia, Assam, this initiative seeks to build resilience, aspiration, and agency among young learners through targeted interventions in education, mental well-being, and civic awareness.

Currently, the initiative partners with select rural schools in Rangia, engaging students and educators through targeted interventions. These include infrastructural enhancements, resource provisioning, capacity-building workshops, and digital literacy sessions to strengthen their educational foundation. We have adopted the Problem Driven Iterative Approach (PDIA) to identify problem typology and devise solutions based on transaction intensity and the extent of local discretion. Our aim extends beyond charitable handouts: we seek to empower these children as peer guides and mentors for their juniors through a structured fellowship model.
