Project 21A is dedicated to safeguarding the rights of children and ensuring the provision of quality education for every child in Jharkhand. The organisation’s dedicated team comprises lawyers, activists, researchers, and educators, unwavering in their commitment to dismantling systemic barriers that obstruct children from realizing their full potential.
Project 21A nurtures and supports the inherent talent of the children and enables them to flourish into well-rounded individuals. It empowers them to develop intellectually, emotionally, and socially, allowing them to thrive and excel in various aspects of life.

The organisation’s goal is to realize gender justice by uplifting women in society through various initiatives such as:
• Promoting access to education.
• Creating public awareness about rights and justice.
• Providing a platform for women to express their opinions and voice grievances.
It engages with government policies and programs to ensure alignment with the needs and demands of women. This involvement takes the form of discussions, seminars, conferences, dialogues, and other legal gatherings. These activities foster capacity building, facilitate information dissemination, improve access to healthcare, and offer support in legal battles, among other essential services.

The APNA Research, Advocacy & Dialogue department serves as a research and public-policy platform with the primary goal of promoting policies that advance the socio-economic development of marginalized communities in India. The overarching vision is to foster an inclusive and reform-minded narrative within India's policy discourse. It is dedicated to facilitating well-informed policy debates and discussions at various levels to contribute to the creation of a more enlightened and equitable society.
It works towards bringing policy and program discussions directly to the people, enabling them to identify issues of enduring importance. This reformist objective is achieved through informed public opinion and active participation. The organisation concentrates on a range of issues affecting people across India, including tribal concerns, education, sustainability, environmental matters, gender issues, and bridging the digital divide.

Strategic litigation is a powerful tool for legal and social change. APNA selects cases that can challenge systemic barriers preventing marginalized children from accessing their rights and quality education. By providing legal representation and support to affected children and their families, it aims to make a lasting impact. It actively monitors and follows up on implementing child-related legislation, court orders, and judgments, filing PILs and writ petitions to secure an inclusive environment for marginalised children. APNA's litigation strategies and arguments are grounded in research. It conducts comprehensive research on various aspects of child rights and quality education, analyzing enrollment, retention, dropout rates, learning outcomes, discrimination, exclusion, violence, budget allocation, policy analysis, and best practices.
