Kartavyam means Responsibility, duty and Obligation.
To enable peoples’ collectives and movements encompassing diverse segments, to pledge their particular strengths, working in partnership to secure, protect and honour the rights of India’s children.
To make people discover their potential for action and change.
To enable people to take responsibility for the situation of the deprived Indian child and so motivate them to seek resolution through individual and collective action thereby enabling children to realise their full potential.
It was a mere dream of a person who believed and promoted giving it back to society.
Madhu Sudan Mishra, the founder of Kartavyam, made his dream project into reality by starting this NGO and initiated food and clothing drives. He always wanted to help people on a large scale; hence he came up with his big project of setting up a School named "संस्कार विद्यापीठ" in U.P. This school was built in memory of his late father R.C.Mishra to provide free education to underprivileged kids. Besides this, Kartavyam has also done multiple drives for animal welfare.

Kartavyam was established in 2001 and registered on 1st May 2015. It was a mere dream of a person who believed and promoted giving it back to society.

After 19 years of serving society, Mr. Mishra is willing to promote the Rule of Law and protect it at the same time. Sadly, our community has completely forgotten the need and the importance of the Rule of Law. Therefore, Kartavyam promises to help society by spreading awareness about social issues which are still prominent in our country by standing up and becoming the voice for the voiceless.

She has also handled matters pertaining to sexual harassment at workplace, domestic violence & cruelty. At present, she represents the members of DLF RWA in an SLP(Civil) pending at the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. Being a first-generation lawyer, she realized that, contrary to her apprehensions, her initial struggle in litigation was not attributed to her lack of legal knowledge but was consequential to a heady, chaotic mix of her ignorance of the Modus Operandi of various Courts/Tribunals, lack of mentorship and her inability to prepare case files for a hearing which she eventually learned through experience. Out of her experience, she ideated and co-developed an online course on “Litigation Basics” to encourage & help the upcoming generation of litigators. She has successfully taught this course to over hundreds of learners including but not limited to law students, graduates, legal professionals, international practitioners, academicians & police personnel. She is driven to enable free & fair access to legal education which, in her opinion, eventually leads to free & fair access to justice. In pursuit of her goals, she has collaborated with Lawctopus Law School, where she is working towards creating and delivering more such online legal courses in a manner that would equip the learners with the requisite skill-set to become practice-ready. She also coordinates with legal practitioners in various practice areas and facilitates workshops, masterclasses & webinars with them to enhance access to quality legal education for everyone who wishes to learn regardless of the law college or background they come from.
