A Child becomes a pillar for a better tomorrow; So, CN believes that working for them is just not a charitable action but one which can bring about social change. Chetana Nepal was given birth by a group of University Students who were blown up sentimentally in a restaurant by seeing a small boy clean and wipe the table in which they sat to eat. CN aspires to uplift the lower caste people (Dalits), the poor, needy, well talented and Orphans. They aspired to raise the issue of child labour and child rights for the social emancipation and for the integration of child rights to the broader social movement for freedom, peace and equality.
