The youth must take up the dual-responsibility of active-citizenry and leadership to bring a transformation of Bharat. I am glad to see such dynamic group of youth taking this kind of yatra.

The role of government is not just to answer citizen’s demands, but to be proactive in delivering services. Young leaders like you should play a role to expedite governance delivery on the ground.

It’s heart-warming to see such an active passionate group of youth to take a keen interest in nation building activities. I am sure if all of you devote your lives to it, our dream Bharat would be built.

Traveling to the grassroots and seeing the projects live is an excellent idea. Great to see this manifested and young people being motivated enough to participate in such live learning exercises.
पूर्व यात्री

“Good Governance Yatra (GGY) is a spatial, temporal, spectral and, most importantly, human journey. Travelling 2500km across the southern states in nine days, we engaged with India’s social, cultural and administrative fabric while forging bonds with individuals from different geographies and demographies. We got a three-sixty-degree view of opportunities and adversities in the executive, judiciary and legislature.”

“सुशासन यात्रा (गुड गवर्नेंस यात्रा) यह एक अविस्मरणीय यात्रा हुई हैं| इन ९ दिन में हमने बहुत कुछ सीखा है, जितनी उम्मीद की थी उससे बहुत ज्यादा| इस यात्रा के दौरान हमने जो अनुभव किये है वह सब बहुत ही फायदेमंद हैं| हमें पहले से ही सुशासन में रूचि थी पर इस यात्रा में भाग लेने के बाद हमारी सुशासन की संकल्पना और भी स्पष्ट हुई| अलग – अलग राज्यों के सुशासन हेतु चल रहे अच्छे प्रकल्प की जानकारी मिली है, ऐसे अवसर बहुत कम मिलते है|”

“GGY’18 promised to be an immersive travel program showcasing model governance projects across 4 states of southern India, but the 9-day experience was so much more than just that. The GGY’18 experience was intensive, meditative and ultimately transformative. A lot of thought and care has gone into the structure of the program.”

The closed yatri group facilitated long and enriched discussions. The kind of welcome we received at the government’s end was overwhelming. It was great to see professionalism in governance and the political will to get things done.

This yatra has made me see the flip side of the coin that was often kept in dark by the media. The amount of work that is being done by the government often doesn’t get its due credit. I can proudly say that this yatra has transformed me from being a pessimist to an optimist.

Both my experiences with VIF have filled me with optimism and passion for building a better society. As an aspiring policymaker, I had a wonderful experience because of the direct access we received to experience the backstage of governance. I met some amazing mentor, friends and colleagues in my journey towards bringing a social change.

GGY brought together passionate individuals who want to transform India. It gave us an insight into the current situation & how small interventions are enough to make massive differences. It has made me confident that if pursued with excellence & worked for, then nation is bound to transform & we will be the Change Agents

I came for the good governance yatra, with the desire to satiate my curiosity while I travel and explore. This yatra has done justice to both. The things learnt during the yatra in a diverse group like this could never be learnt in a classroom setting.

I enjoyed it thoroughly.. bureaucrats and public servants need to reach out to the younger generations and make them aware about good work being done in public policy field.
