1. Creating access to information on child rights or related issues through Research, Documentation, and ICT models. [See Appendix I for more details on ICT]
2. Providing guidance, motivation and information to children and all those involved in research and child rights issues, in terms of facilitating for the necessary interventions, available resources, education and professional support.
3. Building awareness on child rights issues through media, public relations, seminars, conferences and other traditional and non-traditional modes of communication. Be active participants in advocacy movements at national level on issues like "speedy implementation of government laws affecting children."

Vision
A social order where:
1. Children are an integral part of the Family / Community/ National life and their basic rights are accorded accordingly.
2. Children are seen as a future resource to the Community / Nation.
3. Children start believing in themselves and see themselves as a valuable resource or investment for the development of the Community / Nation.
We at Child Rights Information and Documentation Centre (CRIDOC) see ourselves playing a significant role in facilitating this change.
