September Activity – Week 1 and 2 – Teachers’ Section

Introduction:

As family members, students, members of society, and citizens of the country, we all have rights that we are entitled to exercise and duties we are expected to perform towards fellow citizens. The purpose of these rights is to ensure that each individual achieves his/her full potential. On the other hand, the purpose of the aforementioned duties is to make the individual aware of his/her responsibilities while they enjoy the rights given to them. In this session, we will not only discuss these rights and duties, but we will also discuss in depth one specific right- The right to Privacy.

You can find the list of Rights and Duties as described in the Constitution of India in the Information Handout and refer to it before starting the online class.

Right to Privacy is not limited to data. The meaning of privacy can be extended to cover other aspects including bodily integrity (being able to be secure oneself against violent assault), personal autonomy (being able to move freely from place to place), informational self-determination (the right of the individual to decide what information about himself/herself should be communicated with others and under what circumstances), protection from state surveillance (it includes direct surveillance over one’s house and also tapping one’s calls), dignity (the right of a person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically), confidentiality, compelled speech, and freedom to dissent or move or think.
