Notes About How This Resource is Deployed

They consider the candidates understanding of India’s main problems, and the commitment and approach to solving those. Interested candidates may apply online by filling up the application form the application consists of a series of essay-type questions designed to come to know about your suitability for the Yatra. It is a subjective analysis of the raw entrepreneurial potential within a candidate by a selection panel of more than 30 experts spread across the globe. Random interviews and reference checks are also conducted to ascertain veracity of candidature. Facilitators applications are further evaluated on their professional experience and ability to communicate, coordinate and manage youth.
