Other Details:
Youth comprises of more than 34% of Indian population. It is thus imperative to have their opinions incorporated in the national policy making framework to achieve the objective of inclusive governance. However, our country lacks a credible platform through which the youth can have their ideas disseminated across the political establishment. Realizing the need to fill this gap, we, at Citizens for Accountable Governance (CAG), have decided to engage the youth of India in a nationwide movement - Manthan.
With Manthan, we intend to reach out to more than 50% of the country’s college going population. The movement aims to ‘churn out’ the most innovative solutions for inclusion in the political agenda for 2014 general elections.
The movement will comprise of three initiatives spread over a period of 2 months.
National Competition - Students from colleges across the nation participate to come up with innovative solutions to 14 critical challenges that India faces today. The winners of the competition will get an opportunity to present their recommendations to the top leadership of the two principal national political parties and thought leaders from other domains.
Regional Conventions - Renowned university campuses across nation host conventions featuring prominent business and political leaders addressing the youth.
Grand Culmination- Convention About 7,500 students from across the country, the top leadership of the two principal national political parties and thought leaders from other domains come together at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, New Delhi on 2nd October, 2013. We believe that Manthan will be a unique opportunity for the youth to help set the agenda for the 2014 General Elections.
