What is YUVA
With a vision to influence, inspire and motivate millions of students across the country who
are the pillars of Indias progression for the years to come, Yi started its YUVAPlatform,
through which it envisions connecting students to the community, the corporate CEOs and
the country at large, working towards a movement for Nation Building.
While India is one of the youngest countries in the world, Indias is also one of the most
diverse, in terms of language, culture, wealth and topography. Indias youth therefore, have a
major role to play in maintaining unity within this diversity.
Towards this cause, Yis Yuva envisions in bridging the gap between the youth of our country
and the communities they live in by facilitating greater community awareness, promoting
social responsibility and involving them in community development initiatives. This
engagement of the youth at the grass roots will create the foundation for a progressive and
developed India.
What is YUVA CHAUPAL
A Yuva Chaupal is Yis initiative to create active dialogue with school and college students
and engage them in self-development, community development and Nation building
activities. Yi also aims to provide a platform for students to become change agents.
Educational institutions have to play a pivotal role in developing and fostering the qualities of
giving back to the society in young minds.
