    THE ROUTE

    If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India. - Max Mueller

    Jagriti Sewa Sansthan 2013

    The operative word is facilitation. We are not organising this journey for you, we seek to organise

    this journey with you. A number of people behind this journey have left lucrative careers in the

    corporate world to create this inspiring platform for you to explore India. They have worked with

    courage and conviction, motivated purely by the idea that the Yatra could become a powerful

    catalyst of awakening the spirit of enterprise.

    The organising team led by Ashutosh is made up of many ex-Yatris who, like you, were reading

    this handbook just a few years ago. Their evolution into an experienced team of talent, energy

    and commitment is admirable. Other ex-Yatris have joined us, as volunteers, to ensure the jour-

    ney is as successful and memorable as it was for them. Now this extended team is awaits its

    450 new collaborators you!

    The Yatra is yours is an important principle to internalise as you read through this handbook

    and prepare for the journey. The distance between organisers, facilitators and participants

    shrinks soon after the start. So for example, there is a leak in the bathroom, participants roll up

    their sleeves to solve it, rather than rushing to the organisers. Problem-solving rather than

    merely problem-reporting has always been the ethos of the Yatra.

    We have conducted 5 successful Yatras: this is the 6th Jagriti Yatra. Over the last 6 years, we

    have continually evolved the programme. Every year, the aim has been to create a framework, an

    environment for experiential learning. It is not a hard and fast curriculum that defines what you

    must do in order to succeed; rather it is an opportunity for you to stretch yourself in unexpected,

    meaningful and lasting ways.

    Your can-do spirit has got you selected, and this spirit underpins the success of the Jagriti Yatra

    2013. It is a tough journey of 8000 km, 15 days and one train but the rewards are unique: dis-

    covery of enterprise, of oneself, of India.

    The Yatra is an amazing opportunity and we have no doubt that you will make the most of it. As

    you pack your bags, remember to unpack your mind- remove the bulky prejudices, anxieties and

    expectations. Start with just the essential you, free and open, ready for the journey ahead.

    We warmly welcome you on this remarkable adventure. As Prasoon Joshi says:

    Yaaron Chalo, Badalne ki rut hai

    Regards,

    Rewati Prabhu

    INTRODUCTION This handbook is designed for you - the Yatris, resource persons and press representatives of

    the Jagriti Yatra 2013 It describes the broad framework of the Yatra, the layout of the train,

    its management systems, facilities and code of conduct.

    The Jagriti Yatra is conducted by Jagriti Sewa Sansthan, a not-for-profit organisation. As its

    name suggests, Jagriti Yatra or awakening journey, seeks to facilitate an awakening among

    the youth of India by exposing them to exceptional models of social and business enterprise.

    IN SEARCH OF HOPE Hope is the locomotive of a young nation. It drives the passion of its young citizens. It gives them the

    energy to excel and build a country of substance. In its absence cynicism and corruption take hold; in its presence the future gets lit up by the energy of citizens moving in one direction.

    And there has never been a more important time to go out in search of Hope than now. Re-

    cent events show that a positive future for our country is being challenged by a slew of cor-ruption cases. Starting from the Commonwealth games, to recent scams, it seems that at

    every corner, in every newspaper, at every forum the discussion is on how the country is fal-tering. Our land, as young as any on the planet, should be buzzing with hope, but hope has

    gone missing.

    This is what we hear at the start of a journey when 450 young people set out in search of hope. For hope does reside in the real India. And it is not the wooly, loose construct that the

    word seems to imply. It is concrete, it is anchored in integrity and hard work, and it is being given shape through enterprise in hundreds of towns and villages across the country. In the

    end it has the ability to lift our nation; to inspire, even now.

    That hope shines through in the work of those social and economic entrepreneurs building

    India, who we will visit in the journey. These ole models represent thousands of others who are helping create a new India as we speak. Their work and the story of their lives should

    awaken a hidden spark in each participant who sets out on this search.

    This search party will set out to travel the country in a special train for 8,000 kilometers over 15 days. A majority come from small towns and villages, that middle India. An India that is 600 million strong, lives between Rs 40 Rs 120 per day but is often bereft of purpose and employment. This India is remarkably young, it has energy, often has food on the table and a

    roof over their head, yet remains unemployed. A number of International participants will add their perspective and experience to the journey. With almost 40% women participants this

    journey will seek their creative leadership in this search.

    Over the 15 days you will visit individuals like Ramaswamy Elango, in Kutumbakam village, a Sar panch who left his engineering job in an urban area to inspire a village that was all but

    broken. Broken by alcoholism, issues of caste segregation, lack of economic opportunities. Today Kuthambakkam is a must-see for those looking at models of rural regeneration. The

    search for hope will take you to the other end of India, in the deepest forests of Orissa. Here you will meet Joe Madiath, a Howard Roark like figure who has spent close to 30 years of his

    life bringing clean water, energy and sanitation through Gram Vikas to the interiors of Orissa. Joe insists that each toilet constructed by villagers should have running water. Hope shines

    brightly in the half blind eyes of patients at the Aravind Eye Care in Madurai, a hospital which,

    while driven by the spiritual values of Sri Aurobindo, makes 40% earnings before deprecia-tion, while providing free eye care to thousands every year. Hope is echoed in the work of

    SEWA in Ahmedabad, as you observe the empowerment in women that takes place once they

    are given means of employment. .

    The conversations in the train take a distinctly positive turn as the train corners UP on its

    third and final leg towards Mumbai. Having seen 2/3rd of the role models, and traversing a

    giant U of the country that touched Madurai from Mumbai, the search is in full swing.

    Jagriti Sewa Sansthan 2013

    But, we are often asked by participants, when we get back home, the reality of India may engulf us again. This train of awakening may show the path of hope and idealism, but surely many

    parts of India are waiting to drown us in negative bylines and the furtive look of a bureaucrat asking for his cut. This is where the search ends and the disciplined hard work of enterprise

    building begins. Armed with practical examples of how social and economic enterprises have been built by these 12 odd visionaries, this group starts finding team members who can come

    together to start and scale up an enterprise. Without the discipline required to convert purpose into long term enterprise, the search would be reduced to another round of slogans, or com-

    plaints. And we know there is enough of that already. With discipline, a likeminded team and mentoring and coaching, the search can become a lifelong journey of enterprise led develop-

    ment for these participants. At the start of the third and final leg, in a small village in Deoria dis-trict of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, we start explaining what would take to create sustainable solu-

    tions in a rural setting. Some teams return to Deoria after a couple of months to elaborate on their plan and learn in the process. Others think of starting something in their own chosen areas.

    In this manner, we base our mission on a bias for building, not just trying to bring out faults in

    the system.

    This journey of Enterprise Led Development, or Udyam Janit Vikas is designed to create a move-

    ment to build India by its citizens. It can provide young Indians a positive outlet for their ener-gies; provide employment for them while creating jobs for many others. Collectively this will lead

    to sustainable development that is so needed in the smaller towns and villages where this move-

    ment has to focus.

    Those 2,700 searchers who have taken part in the last five journeys have formed a deep net-work of trust. Each year 450 additional members are being added. Trust has the power to multi-

    ply their energies, bring about collaboration and create a forum for others to be inspired. To give them practical training, mentorship and often protection and shelter from an insensitive system,

    four Institutes of Enterprise are on the anvil in the four cardinal directions of India. Each institute intends to recognize local language; cultural variations in the way enterprises are created and

    scaled up in this country. After all a co-operative as a model of enterprise has worked in Western

    India, but failed to take off in the North.

    Above all the philosophy, technique and discipline of Udyam Janit Vikas has a simple rationale. Young people live on purpose and hope. If they connect with it, and take forward their passions

    through it, a positive destiny for India is assured. If not, then India will stumble and possibly fall as those focusing only on growth rates will realize that as a nation we have not awakened the

    talents of our underprivileged youth.

    Our team at Jagriti welcomes you to this journey. You will discover Hope collectively and individu-ally, and then carry it back to your own area. After the journey we are convinced you will start

    looking at the problems around you with an eye on solutions. Those lamps of hope lit by you in your own area will then start banishing the dark shadows of corruption and cynicism that are

    circling this great land. That is what we enjoin you to do with us in this journey.

    YATRIS : COMPOSITION & DIVERSITY The 450 Participants and facilitators on the Yatra will represent the diversity of India. We have sought to select them from all corners of India, and have focused efforts to get a good

    proportion of Indians from smaller towns and rural areas of the country. There will be a small contingent of international participants and facilitators too.

    Please keep in mind that the diversity of participants will pose unparalleled challenges and provide unbeatable insights. Your fellow travellers could be from a small town of Rajasthan or

    from an Ivy League college in the USA. Language will often be a barrier. How does a Tamil participant communicate with a Hindi speaking north Indian? Even more diverse will be view-

    points. The issues that a metropolitan Indian thinks of when thinking of enterprise will be entirely different from the viewpoint of a rural entrepreneur looking to establish a floriculture

    centre in his neighbourhood.

    A moving train, covering the expanse of India is the perfect venue to resolve these differ-ences. In doing so, all of us will learn and perhaps more importantly unlearn before you learn.

    ROLE MODEL ENTREPRENEURS As you are aware by now, the central focus of the journey is to meet those real heroes who

    are creating entrepreneurial success stories in India. While other activities will take place around this visit, such as panel discussions, and an occasional cultural stop, the role model

    entrepreneurs and their difficult journey in creating the enterprise, is a key component of the program.

    Spending an entire day at the role model institutes and listening to their stories is what

    makes this journey unique and experiential.

    The list of role models will be shared with you prior to the journey. Please keep these interac-tions as a central axis of your preparation for the journey. We will give you more details during

    registration, and will also divide the train into sub-groups, each assigned to study a particular role model in depth. Groups will be assigned to the detailed study of each role model which

    that group will present to the rest of the Yatris.

    There are also Yatris who have exceptional stories to share. Please engage with these role-models amongst you.

    Jagriti Sewa Sansthan 2013

    DESTINATIONS The complete itinerary of the train will be announced on the day of registration. Please plan your travel back from Mumbai late on 8th Jan 2014. Apart from some dignitaries and exceptional

    TRAIN LAYOUT The train is a non-air-conditioned with second class sleepers for most participants and facilitators. With the

    pleasant winter season we do not expect the compart-ments to get oppressively hot, although in the northern

    stretch it WILL get extremely cold. Electric fans are avail-

    able in each compartment. The train layout is shown in the graphic alongside.

    A common sitting/conference room is air-conditioned,

    where discussions take place as the train is moving. The male and female accommodation is separated by

    common facilities and toilets are within each coach. The train will work as a virtual residence on wheels, where in

    most locations travel will take place by night, while dur-ing day time visits will be organised. However, keep in

    mind that facilities are basic, not luxurious. Over the 15 days journey, you are required to help keep our com-

    mon residence organised and clean.

    At induction, on the 24th of December each Yatri will be allotted a berth within this layout. This location is deter-

    mined by the larger organisation of groups and cohorts.

    YATRI GROUPING With over 450 energetic participants, we have to be disciplined to minimise the creative chaos. We have created the following groupings:

    COHORT This is the smallest unit which consists of 6 participants and 1 facilitator. The facilitator is the care-taker and mentor of each cohort. All the activities are designed such that the members of

    each cohort have to be together and guided by the respective facilitator. The distribution of berths on board is made keeping in view that a cohort stays together. This cohort will be single

    sex.

    GROUP Three such cohorts make a group. So a typical group has upto 18 participants and 3 facilitators

    a total of 21. Some activities are designed to encourage the participation from a whole group. Creation of synergy among the Yatris is the guiding factor in grouping the Yatris. For instance a

    group may be assigned to study a particular entrepreneur or his institution and present to the rest of the train. A group will comprise 2 men and 1 women cohort and will spend their time to-

    gether during the day time, and in discussion forums.

    TRAIN The train will comprise approximately 21 Groups, which make up the participants and facilita-tors. An additional group of organisers, dignitaries and press will also travel with us on the train.

    The distribution of the Yatris among the cohorts will be carefully designed in order to achieve a

    good mixture of the people from varying backgrounds, vocation, age, language and experience.

    DAILY PROGRAM (TYPICAL) A typical day on the train when we are not going to visit any role model:

    A typical day when we are going to visit a role model:

    Debates, discussions and AV screenings are organised onboard the train. A detailed schedule

    of activities will be provided on the Induction day - 24 December 2013.

    A thematic program is being developed around some broad themes and linked to the role models and places being visited. You will be expected to participate actively in these pro-grams. Some of you are talented musicians, singers and artists and we encourage informal

    creative interactions on board and perhaps even at certain events. Please bring onboard your creative tools (musical instruments, paintbrushes etc.) to add colour to the Yatra.

    Jagriti Sewa Sansthan 2013

    FACILITIES ON TRAIN

    MEDICAL

    As we are moving through the entire country and will encounter various climates, infections are possible. We urge you to maintain a high level of fitness through exercise and vitamin supple-

    ments as needed.

    The following arrangements have been made on board throughout the journey:

    A doctor ( one male and one female)

    Facility of sick bay

    First aid kit in each coach We recommend certain vaccinations (typhoid, tetanus, malaria). Also consult your doctor before

    you travel. Remember prevention is better than cure.

    In case of medical emergencies, we will connect with the closest hospital on the route.

    SECURITY

    Safety is paramount if we are to make this a positive experience. For your security, we have ar-ranged for the following:

    Male and female security guards

    Appropriate Railway Protection Force guards

    Facilitators will also double as security proxies

    The normal safety features such as fire extinguishers and emergency stop call buttons exist in

    each coach.

    However, security and safety is every participants responsibility. Please do not leave valuables or expensive equipment loose and on the train. The responsibility for your personal belongings

    rests with you. All Yatris are responsible for their personal belongings, especially electronics items like mobiles, cameras, etc. Where possible, please desist from bringing expensive equip-

    ment on the journey.

    Please do not discuss the Yatra detailed itinerary widely. We want to limit local interaction on the Yatra so that operationally, activities of participants are able to be run unhindered.

    Standard Indian Railway regulations of no smoking, no alcohol and no

    carrying of inflammable items apply to all Yatris.

    Jagriti Sewa Sansthan 2013

    PREPARATION FOR JOURNEY We have said to you on several occasions that you will need to be mentally and physically fit for

    this journey. You will be passing through several different physical and cultural landscapes. Please exercise in the run-up to the journey so the strain of an 15 day travel is minimal, and your

    immune systems are in good shape. That said dont over prepare - it is an adventure after all!

    The most important thing you need to bring with you is an open mind, eager to learn and contrib-ute. The Yatra is an extremely complex logistical program and you should be prepared that every

    so often things will go off-track. Delays, cancellations, break-downs may happen and your atti-tude in dealing with these challenges is what will help us make the most of the situations we are

    thrown in. Remember that the experience of the journey with all its challenges is as important as the destinations we travel to.

    WEATHER As we are traveling all around India, the weather will change from place to place. While we are

    traveling in the more pleasant winter months, the North of India can be as cold as 2 degrees Celsius or colder.

    Please prepare for all kinds of weather changes- heat, cold, rain etc. in terms of clothing, medi-

    cal items and footwear. Do take a look at weather charts for the regions that we will visit, before we travel.

    CLOTHINGS & ESSENTIALS Comfort and convenience wins over style here. When you pack for the journey, prepare for win-

    ters as cold as 2 degrees in the North India. Suggested clothing requirements from our past experience and a MUST are as follows:

    1. Waterproof jacket X 1

    2. Sweater/ Warm jacket, Thermals, scarfs (Meant for heavy winters)

    3. T- shirts

    4. Jeans/ comfortable Trousers

    We want to reiterate (particularly for participants from the south) that the

    North can be very cold at this time of the year. Please bring adequate sleep-

    ing bags, blankets. If in doubt carry more than you need.

    CODE OF CONDUCT You are courageous to want to be part of this unforgettable journey. There is adventure, ex-ploration and freedom. There are new ideas, people, places and events to look forward to.

    But this journey of discovery requires responsibility and sensitivity from every Yatri. It requires an open mind, a positive attitude and the ability to make the most of the various situations

    that you will face.

    You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circum-

    stances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is

    something you have charge of. This is a collaborative experience of 450 persons from vastly different financial, religious and

    social backgrounds. Some of you will be experiencing cities for the first time; some of you will be visiting India for the first time! Some of you come from contexts where women wear a

    ghunghat or burka, others from contexts where children work from the age of 10. Some of you are in well set jobs; others are struggling to find the path ahead.

    All of you will be pulled out of your comfort zones and be faced with this extraordinary diver-

    sity, up close and personal for 15 days and sometimes it will not be easy. In addition, we have a challenging schedule of activities, complex logistics which we want to carry out successfully.

    However, there is a powerful thread that binds us all - the desire to be the change and the aspiration to learn from this Yatra.

    Jagriti Sewa Sansthan 2013

    In order to maximize the learning on this Yatra, we have no doubt that you will cooperate in fol-lowing the Yatra Mantra as below. Most are common courtesies.
