Mukto Chinta Mukti Kotha’: A Bold Step by Mukti to Promote Critical Thinking and Expression

In the remote yet resilient landscapes of the Sundarbans, where voices often remain unheard and questions go unasked, Mukti — a grassroots social development organization — has initiated a pathbreaking movement to awaken minds and ignite conversations. Through its bold and timely workshop titled “Mukto Chinta Mukti Kotha” (translated as Free Thinking, Free Speech), Mukti is not only promoting education but also nurturing the foundations of critical thinking and expression in rural Bengal.

This workshop, recently conducted at Purba Sridharpur in South 24 Parganas, brought together students, educators, local leaders, and creative minds to participate in an open dialogue about the importance of questioning, sharing, and thinking independently. With over 150 enthusiastic participants, the initiative represents a vital shift from traditional passive learning to active engagement and intellectual freedom.
