In 2006, PARA decided to join the Human Rights Education (HRE) network initiated by the Institute of Human Rights Education, Madurai. Initially PARA associated with Sakshi, a partner resource centre of DBSU. Later PARA took the responsibility for organising HRE in the undivided state of Andhra Pradesh. This activity got a boost in 2009 with the international congress on the Preventive System and Human Rights in Rome. In 2011 a seminar was organised for the state resource team of State Council for Education, Research and Training (SCERT) who went on to prepare the Human Rights Education Manual for the state school teachers. Ever after, PARA has been facilitating HRE in about 600 government schools in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Earlier HRE classes were conducted in classes 6, 7 and 8. Now Human Rights Clubs are organised in the school. These clubs are now to be promoted in the villages and influence Local Governance.
