About Social Screen

Social Screen is a digital storytelling platform dedicated to highlighting positive, impactful, and inspiring stories from across India. It brings into focus the individuals, communities, and initiatives that are quietly contributing to the nation’s social, cultural, and environmental progress.

At a time when narratives are often dominated by conflict and crisis, Social Screen exists to restore balance—by documenting hope, innovation, resilience, and collective action.

An Initiative of Aarohanam Foundation

Social Screen is an initiative of Aarohanam Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation working in India with a commitment to social upliftment, inclusive development, and long-term positive change.

Guided by the foundation’s values, Social Screen serves as its public storytelling and awareness platform—amplifying real stories that reflect the spirit of constructive change taking place across the country.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is simple yet essential:

To tell stories that strengthen trust, inspire action, and showcase the positive momentum shaping India’s future.

We believe that responsible storytelling can:

  • Encourage civic engagement

  • Inspire communities and institutions

  • Highlight scalable solutions to social challenges

  • Build confidence in grassroots innovation and human potential

Why Social Screen Matters

India is full of progress stories that often go unnoticed. Social Screen exists to bring those stories to the forefront—so that optimism is informed, credibility is maintained, and inspiration is rooted in reality.

By documenting positive change, we aim to contribute to a more balanced public discourse and a stronger sense of collective purpose.

Join the Journey

Social Screen welcomes readers, contributors, partners, and institutions who believe in the power of positive, purposeful storytelling.

Together, we can amplify stories that deserve attention—and help build a more aware, compassionate, and confident India.
