The Satyarthi Global Policy Institute for Children (SGPIC) envisions bringing stakeholders in the child rights domain across the world to congregate, deliberate, learn and innovate on all child rights and child protection related issues.
SGPIC has been established to carry out research, training & capacity building, share information and disseminate best practices among stakeholders in child protection and child rights promotion, and to offer academic courses to build a cadre of experts in various knowledge domains relating to the well-being of children.
These objectives are sought to be achieved by:
- Conducting evidence-based research on identified policy gaps related to child well-being
- Strengthening policy regime through support to governments and other policy-making bodies
- Strengthening grassroots capacity through best practice training and workshops
- Conduct academic courses of various durations on child protection, child education, child health and nutrition, and other issues relating to children.
The bedrock of the Institute are the four universal values that are the guiding force for Mr. Kailash Satyarthi and all his social initiatives – justice, equality, peace and compassion. The objectives of the Institute are planned to be achieved through four vibrant and symbiotic centers of operation:
Centre for Research
and Policy
Centre for Dialogue, Learning and Capacity building
Centre for
Academics
SGPIC is presently functioning from the office premises of KSCF in Delhi. The Institute will have its own campus and building in Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh in due course, once the land is acquired.
The Institute has already become functional with two Divisions of the KSCF having been made a part of it, viz. Research and Policy Research, and Training & Capacity Building.
