Samarthya activates platforms for local collective dialogue and action in collaboration with the Government and communities. Its focus includes co-designing processes to support School Management Committees (SMCs) under the Right to Education Act, ensuring accountability in India's education system. It also adapts to stakeholder needs, conducting virtual Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) and implementing "Sujhaav Somvaar," a platform for suggestions from all stakeholders.

Samarthya focuses on fostering voice and agency among stakeholders, enabling them to identify and express their interests and concerns. It achieves this through capacity-building sessions at the grassroots level and with those who regularly interact with stakeholders. For instance, its work in Sonipat, Haryana, showcases the impact of Section 21 of the Right To Education Act, which mandates School Management Committees (SMCs) in Government-run and aided schools. In Sonipat, 93% of SMC members experienced more participative meetings, resulting in a substantial 60% of raised issues being addressed in the district's schools.
