Children’s Movement for Civic Awareness (CMCA) is a forum of school children in Mumbai, founded on the belief that children are the most powerful messengers of change.

CMCA has been spearheading efforts to inculcate civic and environmental consciousness through Civic Clubs in schools. CMCA has thus far instituted more than 40 Civic Clubs in about 20 schools in Mumbai, including schools with under-privileged children and has reached out to more than 10,000 students - their homes, their friends and their neighbourhood through various campaigns.

CMCA Volunteers take sessions once a week in a given school, on civic & environmental issues and children are encouraged to spread the message to their friends, family members, etc. We thus hope for a ‘ripple effect’ in bringing about a better civic sense within the city.

Children from CMCA have spread awareness on various issues, including that of celebrating Ganpati in an eco-friendly manner, segregating garbage, having a pollution-free Diwali, water conservation, etc.
