About Adarsh Yuva Samiti (AYUS)
We at Adarsh Yuva Samiti believe that people who are educated and have empathy must stand with the poorest or poor in the country. We realised India’s development cause is served better when educated Indians, especially the youth with some ideals (Adarsh Yuva), work directly with the less privileged, marginalised and economically weaker sections of the society.
We aim for a holistic and positive change in their social, psychological and economic condition so they can take total charge of their lives and engage with the world around them.
We also partner with other civil society organizations and the government to influence development policies. We hope that our work at the grassroots level and our broader partnerships will lead to large-scale positive change and influence society as a whole.
We work primarily in Uttarakhand region to help vulnerable communities organize collectives that help people, especially women, earn a decent living and support their families. We also help them access government programs and other entitlements as citizens. We focus primarily on women and children because we believe that even people considered to be the most disadvantaged in society are capable of driving the change they need
