A Train in India that Runs Only Once a Year
The Jagriti Yatra is a remarkable train journey unlike any other, held only once a year for 15 days, but in that short span, it has the power to shape the careers and lives of about 500 aspiring entrepreneurs and change-makers. Organized by the Mumbai-based NGO Jagriti Seva Sansthan, this inspiring journey has been taking place annually since 2008, attracting more than 75,000 youth from 23 countries over the years.
The majority of passengers on the Jagriti Yatra are young entrepreneurs eager to learn, connect, and grow. The mission of this journey is singular: to network, mentor, and empower the entrepreneurial spirit of India’s youth.
During the 15-day, 8000-km expedition, the train stops in 10 to 12 cities across India, with expert mentors—around 100 in total—who engage with the participants. These mentors, or "gurus," cover a wide range of crucial subjects, including agriculture, education, energy, health, manufacturing, water and sanitation, art, literature, and culture. The youth onboard receive insights, strategies, and guidance to drive solutions for India's unique challenges in these fields.
This year, the Jagriti Yatra begins on November 16, setting out from Mumbai and passing through Hubli, Bengaluru, Madurai, Chennai, Visakhapatnam, and Delhi before concluding in Ahmedabad on December 1. It’s not just a train journey; it’s a journey toward building a brighter future for India.
