| Submission declined on 17 March 2023 by Cabrils (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO) but presently does not. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners or the article Easier Referencing for Beginners. Please note that the references are not formatted correctly (see Wikipedia’s Manual of Style for help). Additionally, please remove the inline external links in accord with WP:MOS. Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere! Cabrils (talk) 21:09, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Suparna Gupta (born in 1972 Mumbai India) is an Indian social activist and leader on child protection who has been serving as the founder/CEO of Indian child rights nonprofit Aangan Trust since 2002. She is an expert on community models that build trust and dialogue between marginalized groups and local officials across the country, in order to address serious child harm including trafficking, child marriage and hazardous labor. [1]
Gupta lives in Mumbai with her husband Nikkhil Advani and their daughter Keya.
Early life and education edit
Gupta grew up in Mumbai and received her education at Cathedral and John Connon School and St. Xaviers University, Mumbai where she studied psychology and later Social Communication Media at Sophia Polytechnic, Mumbai.
In 2013, Gupta attended the Harvard Kennedy School as a mid-career Masters in Public Administration student, where she was a Fellow at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard. [2]
Career edit
In 2002, Gupta founded Aangan Trust, which provided post-harm arts-based psychosocial care for children in state-run facilities in Mumbai and Thane including runaways, children who had been trafficked, and children who had been accused or convicted for juvenile offending.[3]
In 2007, Gupta developed India’s first “standards of care” tool to be used extensively in sixteen states across the country to monitor state run homes for children as well as to train Juvenile Justice functionaries across the country. [1] It was piloted with UNICEF India (2009-2012), and captured voices of children in decision-making while accounting for constraints faced by officials. In 2013, Gupta developed the “hotspot to safe” model to pivot to prevent child harm, by working at the source: engaging with systems surrounding at-risk children, to ensure that they did not end up in government-run institutions in the first place. [4] Through this model, the organization has impacted an estimated one million children, having trained 18,000 women child protection workers volunteers from most marginalized groups and who have worked with 5,000 government officials and 300,000 families in seven hotspot districts in India. [3]
She has mobilized efforts for members of civil society to participate in safe spaces of dialogue advocate on behalf of children in shelter homes, children of prisoners, and survivors of domestic violence.[5]
In 2021, Gupta co-founded The Intention Collective, an organization that provides tools for civil society to engage in efforts to advance human rights, with Deepika Khatri and Ratna Gill. Gupta is the host of the podcast “No Ordinary Citizen.”
