Overview

National Civic Charter presents a structured Indian Knowledge System-based framework for responsible citizenship across educational, community, and public settings. It identifies the need for a common civic charter capable of translating constitutional values and civilisational ideas of duty into observable conduct, institutional expectations, and participatory practices.
The book studies Indian foundations of civic duty and Fundamental Duties as civic principles for contemporary India. It then develops separate but connected charter components for schools and colleges, families and communities, and public institutions. Behavioural indicators make the framework suitable for orientation, reflection, institutional planning, and civic-education programmes. The concluding roadmap addresses implementation, stakeholder responsibility, monitoring, and adaptation across diverse contexts.
