Empowering a Generation of Changemakers

India stands at a defining moment, with over 65% of its 1.4 billion population under the age of 35. As per 2024 estimates, more than 500 million citizens are below 25, and the working-age population is projected to exceed 600 million by 2030. Every third person in an Indian city is a youth—an immense demographic advantage that can fuel national progress, if channelized effectively.

While technical and vocational skills are being actively promoted, soft skills—such as communication, leadership, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and resilience—remain significantly under-addressed. These 21st-century competencies are essential not only for employability but also for entrepreneurial success and active citizenship. A lack of interpersonal and managerial skills continues to hinder many graduates from realizing their full potential.

Bharat RITES Trust considers Youth Empowerment a core pillar of its mission. The Trust adopts a holistic approach that includes leadership training, career guidance, personality development, and civic engagement. Youth conclaves, debates, model parliaments, and community projects are organized to nurture responsibility, self-awareness, and decision-making.

Special focus is placed on marginalized and underserved youth, providing access to scholarships, higher education, mentorship, and digital platforms for learning and guidance. Emotional well-being is also prioritized through wellness programs and life skills workshops.

Bharat RITES envisions an India where youth are not just participants in the economy but leaders of transformation. By equipping them with the right mix of knowledge, skills, and values, the Trust is helping create a generation of confident, capable, and compassionate nation-builders.
