    Rural Immersion project : UNICEF and Gujarat Youth Forum
    (MICA, 2020) Riaz, Aamir; Bhattacharjee, Abhiroop; Chawla, Nitpreet; Singh, Raunaq; Mukherjee, Shormee; Rai, Vikash
    The objective of this study is to understand the day-to-day operations and best practices adopted by Youth Forums and other youth organizations across Gujarat, in order to assist Gujarat Youth Forum to identify opportunities and areas for improvement. In our online Rural Immersion Project spanning 6 days, we conducted an extensive qualitative research on not only the workings of youth based organizations but also the challenges faced by rural youth in availing the opportunities offered by these organizations. We also tried to understand the rural youth’s primary motivations that lead them to join such groups and also their expectations, so as to be able to identify any such gaps, which in our recommendations section, we have suggested ways to bridge. We first conducted secondary research to understand other prominent youth groups active in Gujarat. We then collected a sample of people serving in administrative roles in various government and non-government organizations engaged in social upliftment work. After interviewing them, we also asked them to connect us with local youth who could provide us with ground level insights.
