Changing young lives

The YP foundation joins hands with CYC to make youth experience constitution rights and duties.

Imagine trying to live a day on Rs 32. As per the Indian constitution, you fall under the poverty line if you earn less than Rs 32 a day. As part of the Samvidhan LIVE – The Jagrik Project, you get to experience how to get by on that amount in a day, among other activities. "This task will include your travel, your food and any other necessary expense that you might think of," says Musheer Ahmed, the associate coordinator at the Youth Parliament Foundation (TYPF), which began in 2002 as a meeting space for young people to discuss ideas and learn about issues that they were passionate about in a safe, open and non-judgmental space.
