Publication team :

The dramatic monologue goes on coupled with the mundane business of life, and Prufrock’s “It is impossible to say just what I mean”, wrings the heart of one and all. Most of us have a lot to say, but very rare do we find the right-minded audience.

Do you feel that the happenings around should not fly past the way they do, do you ponder over “the overwhelming question” of the day, and then, do you feel that you must at least strive to stir people around? Do you wish to inspire someone who used to have a vision, to usher them back to the world they dreamt of, but which probably was lost to the business of life. Then, here’s your chance to make a difference. Read, explore, and bring forth anything you would like to Change!!

The Publication team is an upcoming and the most vibrant team at AID Delhi.

Bring forth the radical ideas that you believe in, and alter the notions commonly withheld about not so uncommon issues of the day.

The list of issues/topics you can choose to write on is endless. However, to mention a few, I suggest:

> Decriminalizing Sex Workers: The Rights of Sex Workers

> New Dimensions to Child Labor

> India: Anytime Disposal Ground for Industrial wastes

> Safeguarding Tribal Interests

> Childhood in Prison

> Volunteer experience with AID

Or any social issues that you are passionate about and would like to reflect on.
