It was magic ... We were building India .. through ideas, innovation, dreams, hopes and Possibilities to drive change... !!!!


Jagriti Yatra - Awakening Ideas..Youth ... And finally Building India...... !!!!!!!


1 train- 12 locations- 15 days- 450 young people- 8000kms...This is the  summary of my external journey  .  But for me this was more about internal journey ....!!!!!!

 Jagriti Yatra is an annual train journey that takes hundreds of highly motivated youth ,   between the age group  of 20-25 years  and experienced professionals with age above 25 yrs. on a 15 day day national odyssey, introducing them to unsung heroes of India, Role model visits of innovation and social entrepreneurship . The aim is to awaken the spirit of entrepreneurship - both social and economic - within India's youth by exposing them to individuals and institutions that are developing unique solutions to India's distinct challenges with confidence and hope.... !!!


We started with the most successful story of Dabbawalas in mumbai , amazed by their values and worship for work. They enlightened me with one thought All you need is love your duty to be a best service provider and yesss no technology with zero error, amazing . Then we were treated by JY team with a wonderful inaugural function.

The Anthem of yatra was introduced here .... It goes as follows ...Lyrics is awesome and is choreographed in a  superb   way//////

kuch badal raha .. kuch badlenge ..tab badlegaaa jab badlenge... Kuch dekha hai kuch dekhenge.. kuch likkha hai kuchh likkh denge...

Yaroo chalo ...Yaroo chalo....... Badalne ki rutt hai... 
Yaroo chalo ...Yaroo chalo....... swarne ki rutt hai... 

Hawa keh rahi tu teherana nahi.... gagan keh raha tu pighalna nahi...
jamin kehrahi tu mujhko chhu ke dekh.. aur aankhe milaa sach se darna nahiiiiii....
Yaroo chalo ...Yaroo chalo....... Badalne ki rutt hai...
Yaroo chalo ...Yaroo chalo....... swarne ki rutt hai...

Hmmmmmmm....... It was .... It is... And It will bee always a  Mesmerizing experience ...Only a yatri could explain the thrill and energy of the Anthem....!!!!!!!

Then we left TISS campus and moved on to Kurla station in Mumbai.... Where we waited for a long awaited TRAIN.... <3.... !!! on the Christmas eve with carol singing on platform, meeting people .. Finally train arrived And the journey began... 

So in-short it was like  Moving Train, running Brain.... Cold weather , Hot discussion.... Young minds ... drive for change... Lots of energy... Loads of dreams... Each visit .... new learning.... new idea.. new hope.... Thank You Jagriti Yatra team for this fabulous experience.....!!!! 
Yatra confirmed me the fact that India is a young and amazing country .  This journey introduced me with amazing people and converted all into wonderful  friends.
