Human society may seem advanced and keeps transforming at a continuous pace, however, in reality, an all-encompassing threat to survival sucks the spirit of life. The most common threats like environmental insecurity, war, poverty, epidemic, and ethnic conflicts coupled with lifestyle diseases, fear, and infringement of freedom hit the very existence of every day from within. The structural conditions are narrowing down the breathing space of being in so many ways. In response, human agency is agitating everywhere for the cause of emancipation. The desire for life blossoms again from the ashes of death. Humanity asserts itself in newer ways and forms to keep the spirit of life up. In this context, Activism aims to promote the ingenuity of social research to boost up human functionality for the sake of good life while going beyond the conventional practice of academic research. The very purpose is to strengthen everyday activism as a critical-practical activity. In this sense, it aims to set everyday activism free from all sorts of illusory perceptions, false consciousness, fundamentalism, idiotic beliefs, ethnocentricism, and superstitions both at the individual and aggregate levels. It believes in the creative power and rational faculty of human agency to transcend and transform adverse structural conditions if armed with the research-based critical understanding and guidance as well.

Activism aims to address the functional problems of daily life through informed action, alternative praxis, and appropriate engagement. The very objective is to make social research more useful, impactful, and effective for addressing issues we encounter every day. The functional problem does not refer to a particular category or set of problems having distinctive existence in the course of human life; rather it refers to a set of practices in our mundane interaction that affects the self and circumstances adversely and, in turn, becomes the source of various mental, physical, relational, and behavioral disorders and inconsistencies. Activism believes that everyday functions are the keys to understand those disorders and inconsistencies and thus attempts to find out the functional requisites for effective self-governance to prevent the undesirable disorganization of the life process. 

Apart from the above considerations Activism aims to produce research-based systematic knowledge to understand the functional issues of everyday life and thus emphasizes the proactive role of human agency for a context-specific transcendence of the structural obstacles with innovative and appropriate praxis.

Secondly, there is a huge gap between social research and its application for the benefit of common people. Mainstream social science research is largely policy centric and limited within the academic boundaries. Activism introduces a very small step to bridge the gap in the sphere of everyday life to make people aware of the utility of research-based knowledge in practice.  

Thirdly, apart from strictly psychological problems people don’t have any place to share and seek expert guidance for their personal problems of daily life. Activism intends to create that space particularly for the kind of problems rooted in everyday activities and organization of the life process.  

Last but not the least, Activism, in no sense, limits itself to transcend the functional problems at the individual level rather It is committed also to understand the larger systems of social praxis and to build up critical awareness through research-based awakening initiatives among masses on several possible occasions to facilitate emancipatory practices at the aggregate level.
