On behalf of Pride Circle's Campus Engagement Team, I'm excited to invite your organization to partner with us on the 2nd edition of our landmark report: "Fostering Pride in Higher Education – The Road to Inclusion." About the Report (1st Edition) In March 2021, Pride Circle, in collaboration with BCG and IIM-A, published India's first-ever pan-India study on LGBTQ+ inclusion in higher education. This landmark report gathered insights from over 1,700 LGBTQ+ students, revealing crucial challenges, expectations from educators, and the urgent need for institutional support systems. You can read the 2021 report: click here Now, five years later, we are launching a follow-up study to measure progress, highlight shifts in campus climate, and map the path forward. This 2026 study will offer: •   Longitudinal insights into the evolving perceptions and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ youth. •   An evaluation of policies and practices adopted by institutions since 2021. •   Fresh, actionable recommendations to foster truly inclusive and supportive educational environments. We aim to publish this new report in May 2026, building upon the strong foundation of the original study and reflecting five years of significant change and momentum. Pride Circle's Role As the project anchors, Pride Circle will manage the entire end-to-end execution, including: •   Outreach and engagement with educational institutions across India. •   Designing the research framework and curating the report. •   Managing data collection, analysis, and visualization. •   Driving press/media attention, social campaigns, and advocacy. •   Publishing the report and hosting the official launch ceremony in early 2026.
