Unveiling Voices from India’s Education System

The Shiksha Papers is dedicated to gathering confidential testimonies to expose deep-rooted systemic injustices and build a “National Record of Truth“

Share Your Testimony

You Are Not Alone. Your Conscience is Your Guide

For too long, the pursuit of higher education has demanded a devastating price: the silence of your conscience. We believe a mentor is a guide, not a god. This sanctuary is built to validate your fight for dignity and ethical integrity.

The Three D’s of Reform: Dignity, Data, and Demand

Dignity and Moral Integrity

We believe the pursuit of knowledge must never come at the cost of self-respect. Your testimony is a powerful act that affirms your moral integrity and breaks the isolating cycle of silence. By speaking your truth, you restore your personal worth and become an agent of cultural change.

Confidential Evidence Collection

Your story is treated as vital evidence. We provide a legally firewalled, secure space to document your experience, converting individual trauma into structured, undeniable data. This ensures your testimony contributes to national reports and policy briefings.

Data-Driven Systemic Demand

We use the compiled evidence to demand accountability and reform. Our goal is to push for mandatory psychological fitness and ethical assessments for all academic mentors, ensuring the future generation receives guidance rooted in compassion, not exploitation.
