UP Connect

The UP Connect Initiative seeks to establish Maitri Kendras across every district in Uttar Pradesh, serving as dedicated help centers for individuals struggling to access their rightful benefits under government schemes.

Access. Accountability. Action.

Inefficiencies, corruption, and lack of information have kept people from claiming what they deserve. We aim to create systems of accountability and solidarity that endures these injustices and ensure that every individual in Uttar Pradesh can access the benefits they deserve.

Maitri Kendra

The heart of this UP Connect Initiative are Maitri Kendras, help centers we aim to establish in every district of the state. These centers will serve as hubs for information, support, and empowerment, enabling individuals to navigate the complexities of government systems.

Through Maitri Kendras, we:

  • Eliminate the Information Deficit: Knowledge is power, and we arm the common citizens with it. From understanding government schemes to navigating complex processes, we ensure you have the tools to claim what’s yours.


  • Empower Communities: This isn’t just about us doing the work. We train the youth to become advocates for their communities, equip them with the skills to demand accountability and drive change.


  • Build Solidarity: We create platforms where people can come together, share experiences, and fight collectively for their rights. No one should have to face these battles alone.


But we can’t do this alone, we need your support. Volunteer. Spread the word. Hold the system accountable. Visit our Friends of Society page to get associated with us and apply for Maitri Kendras in your locality.
