Jitesh
Jitsesh is taking action by holding events in his village and also setting up a youth resource centre there. “I believe that this will bridge the gap between the environment outside the village and the environment inside the village. It will provide a platform to share information, build ones capacity as a leader and disseminate vital information about schemes policies which affect them. It will encourage and provide the means for people to get involved with the Gram Panchayat and make most of the provision that already exists. People’s voices need to be heard” says Jitesh. The multi faceted project has already seen a whole village take to the streets to clean away the litter. Amazing!
Dinesh
Dinesh works as a photographer for DNA newspaper. Recently he was covering the fire at a Jaipur Oil Depot when he was called into a very different kind of action. Upon reaching the blaze he came across a number of people who had been seriously wounded. Using his motorbike and the acquiring the help two other guys, Dinesh spent the following hours rushing people to a nearby hospital, saving seven lives in the process. It was a humbling act of bravery and the audience was completely taken aback as he retold the whole harrowing story. A huge achievement, well done Dinesh!
Bhavya
Bhavya Soni was disturbed by some of the actions and attitudes that were occurring towards females in his college. Eve teasing was a common place and Bhavya wasn’t prepared to let it go unchallenged. Bhavya inspired individuals from around the college to come together, openly discuss the issue of eve teasing and eventually form a group. From then on, those individuals would use their free time to make sure that nobody was being harassed and would intervene if they saw something untoward. This raised the profile of the issue in the college and lead to positive shifts in people’s awareness and behavior.
