The "National Program for Human Rights Education in Schools" is now on in the form of human rights education in schools in the following states :

The World Conference on Human Rights considers human rights education is essential for the promotion and achievement of stable and harmonious relations among communities and for fostering mutual understanding, tolerance and peace. The "National Program for Human Rights Education in Schools" is implemented in different states in consonance with the objectives of the World Programme for Human Rights Education.

The Introduction of Human Rights Education in schools is the result of a deep reflection that the value of rights can be firmly established only when we instill into the tender minds of children this value as a social virtue, as a value to be safeguarded and protected as something stable and indestructible.

• To replicate the program of human rights education in Tamil Nadu schools to other states in India.
• To work towards introduction of human rights education in the curriculum for school students in the World Program for Human Rights Education starting in the year 2005.
• To promote a human rights culture by sensitizing various strategic groups involved in the human rights education program, like, parents of the children, teachers, Headmasters, Education department officials etc..
• To incorporate the learning from the past years of the intervention in Tamil Nadu Schools to make the current intervention more effective. This, we hope, is to be achieved through the process of introducing 'victim centered' education process.
