Jantar Mantar protest: Digital initiative by a software firm in Kochi to extend support
A Kochi-based software firm, Faircode, has launched a digital platform called 'One More Voice' to allow citizens to express solidarity with students protesting the NEET paper leak. The initiative aims to unify voices across the country for those unable to attend physical protests at Jantar Mantar.
Why it matters
It demonstrates how digital tools are being leveraged to facilitate civic engagement and political protest in India.
“Together”, says Sanika from Thrissur. “Hope”, says Anish from Kottayam. “Justice”, says Anand from Dubai. These are a few examples of how people from across the globe have described the ongoing protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi against the NEET paper leak issue, in a single word. This is done via One More Voice, an initiative by Faircode, a Kochi-based software company.
Labelled a “digital expression of solidarity with the students” protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and other parts of the country, One More Voice is an online campaign which allows users to describe what the protest means to them and extend support with just one word.
