Canadian Jesuits International supports Lok Manch (People's Forum), a national platform that promotes the dignity and well-being of marginalized people in India through policy advocacy and improved access to their entitlements and legal rights. It is made up of approximately 100 Jesuit and secular organizations in 15 Indian states and 15 Jesuit provinces.

Many rural and urban populations in India lack adequate access to education, food security, adequate housing and health. This is especially true for groups classified by the government as Scheduled Castes (Dalits) and Scheduled Tribes (Adivasis).

The current goal of Lok Manch is to develop a vibrant network to improve the quality of life for up to 300,000 households. The process is guided by thousands of community leaders, 50% of whom are women. More than 5,520 leaders have already been trained to provide local communities with up-to-date information on their rights to food, education, adequate housing, WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and social protection. They are trained on how to access these rights and what action to take when the system fails. Thousands of households have already been provided with the information and tools they need to access their rights, starting with obtaining the necessary identification documents.

Amidst growing concerns about the impact of increasing and intensifying climate-related disasters on the poor and marginalized, Lok Manch also raises awareness about climate change and proposes solutions to create climate-resilient communities.
