Who we are

India Against Negativity (IAN) is a movement that aspires to eliminate negativity from the democratic society of India to positively impact the public narrative, policy, culture and democratic values. It’s a forum where like-minded positive people congregate to raise their voice to empower the victims suffering at the hand of negativism.

Our work is pervasive to all areas of life, all issues affecting our world from culture to politics, from education to gender, from society to family. Bhunaneswar is the Headquarters of IAN. It has seven national branches in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Ranchi and Patna; and thirty regional branches in all thirty district headquarters of Odisha.

What Drives Us

India Against Negativity (IAN) is a movement to promote positivity and protest negativity.

India Against Negativity (IAN) is a movement to promote positivity and protest negativity.

The man behind this exceptional endeavour, Dr Achyuta Samanta, is the visionary founder of the state of Odisha’s leading educational institutes, KISS and KIIT, both Deemed-to-be Universities. Using his illustration of achieving extraordinary success despite coming from an underprivileged background, he hopes to change the mindset of India through this unique campaign against “negativity” while promoting “positivity”. The conviction from his personal experience propelled him to launch the forum, IAN, to counter the consequences of negativism.

Philosophy

A glorious history of 5,000 years and a cultural tradition of several centuries have made what India today is. Despite all the achievements, India seems to be falling apart because of evil designs of some people who have been trying to spread negativity across the country. In order to have a rich India, vibrant with youthfulness and a promise to look ahead, everyone should fight negativity and pessimism.

There is no doubt that several sections are working to retain the cohesiveness of the Indian society. People with impeccable integrity and values must join together to fight against negativity. A negative feeling always leads to pessimistic attitude. The issues of corruption, the growth of communal violence lead to the spread of negativity. The devil is not as black as is painted. Everything is not lost. The social, corporate and government must come forward and join hands to fight negativity.  It should be the duty of every human being to promote positivity and protest negativity.There is no denying of the fact that discrimination against individuals, inequality, violence against women is rampant in every society all over the world. Everywhere, there are legislations to deal with these problems, but the legislations sometimes fail to protect the victims.  Here, negativity of feelings aggravates the situation. This leads to tyranny. To protect and help the victims of negativity, a common platform needs to be created to fight against the negativity.
