Behind every invisible citizen, every unclaimed soul, every closed door — someone decided to fight back.
These are the Fixers. Social changemakers who are bridging the gap between laws and lives.
This isn’t charity — this is structural change. These people are turning policy into practice and dignity into action.
This film is a part of The Better India Showcase 2025, India’s largest celebration of changemakers that championed the people and blueprints building a more just and inclusive India.
IN THIS VIDEO, WE BREAK DOWN THE BLUEPRINT:
The Introduction: Who are the Fixers?
The Reality Check: India’s deep structural exclusions by the numbers
The Identity Blueprint: Legal IDs for Denotified & Nomadic Tribes (Mittal Patel & VSSM)
The Dignity Blueprint: Last rites and respect for the unclaimed (Jas Kalra & TESF)
The Social Fabric Blueprint: Ending widow ostracism in villages (Pramod Zinjade & Mahatma Phule Samaj Seva Mandal)
The Liberation Blueprint: Ending manual scavenging & securing livelihoods (Ashif Shaikh & Rashtriya Garima Abhiyan)
The Inclusion Blueprint: Jobs and access for persons with disabilities (Vineet Saraiwala & Atypical Advantage)
16:00 - Your Role: How you can support and replicate these fixes
• Legal identity for 5 lakh invisible citizens
• 20,000 unclaimed souls given dignity
• 41,000 lives freed from manual scavenging
• 10,000 villages freed from widow ostracism
• Hundreds of people with disabilities placed in jobs
Change doesn’t begin with a system. It begins with a person.
