Introduction
State of World Volunteering Report (SWVR) 2015 states that “young people volunteer their time and skills for
a wide variety of reasons, such as idealism, hope for a better world, wanting to gain skills for future
employment …… and to contribute to their own society”.
India’s National Youth Policy (2014) identifies five key objectives to empower youth in India – create a
productive workforce, develop a strong and healthy generation, instill social values and promote
community service, facilitate participation and civic engagement, support youth at risk and create equal
opportunity to all. The National Youth Policy (2014) also includes a focus on promotion of volunteerism
by building on existing youth volunteer infrastructure – NYKS and NSS. Further, the 12th Five-year plan of
the Government of India states that it would look for creative ways to rejuvenate institutions in order to
utilize and channelize youth energy in nation building and socio-economic development.
As guided by National Youth Policy (2014), 12th Five Year Plan, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports
(MoYAS), Government of India (GoI), the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) Programme and the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are jointly implementing a project ‘Strengthening Nehru Yuva
Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) and National Service Scheme (NSS)’. The four year project (2014-17) is being
implemented with USD 2.34 million combined contribution of MoYAS, UNV and UNDP aims to promote
youth volunteering by strengthening two of the largest youth volunteering infrastructure in India – NYKS
and NSS.
In order to implement the National Youth Policy 2014, four Action plans have been developed on- Social
Inclusion, Social Entrepreneurship, Gender Justice and Equality and Environment Management and
Disaster Risk Reduction. These Action Plans duly consulted in 2016 with multiple government, civil society
partners provide clear strategies and recommendations to achieve the objectives of the National Youth
Policy 2014 through youth volunteerism. Simultaneously, research on the State of Youth Volunteering and
an online platform to promote youth volunteerism has also been initiated.
The National Youth Policy (2014) and SWVR 2015 recognize engagement of all stakeholders for youth
development and volunteering. SWVR 2011 also recognizes the contribution of private sector in promotion
and recognition of volunteering. It is thus imperative to engage private sector in supporting the ongoing
interventions by UNV in India. The YES BANK established YES Institute as a practicing think-tank focusing
on India’s sustainable and inclusive socio-economic growth and development. YES Institute/YES Bank has
expressed interest to partner with UNV in India to promote and recognize youth volunteering in India.
Given this background, UNDP, UNV, MoYAS and YES BANK organized the roundtable to accelerate the initiative. The roundtable was attended by private sector and civil society. These members have been pursuing activities to promote youth volunteerism. The objectives of the roundtable were as follows:
To release Action Plans on implementation of National Youth Policy
To highlight the contribution and impact of youth volunteering in India through two volunteer
stories under UNV/UNDP/MoYAS joint project “Strengthening NYKS and NSS” and a presentation
of Action Research on State of Youth Volunteering.
To initiate conversations with private sector on their potential engagement in supporting existing
youth volunteer infrastructure in India.

Introductory remarks and keynote address:
The dignitaries from UNDP, UNV, MoYAS and YES Bank began the roundtable introducing the agenda and objectives. Below is a summary of the address by the representative of the respective organizations:
1. Mr. Yuri Afanasiev, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP
Resident Representative India
In the introductory address Mr. Yuri Afanasiev UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative India explained his ease to share the concept of Volunteerism to the Indian society especially the linkage to SDGs on citizen engagement. Indian society traditionally promotes the concept of volunteerism in society for the benefit of others. Sharing an anecdote from a recent interaction with MPs in Indore, where the same concept was reiterated
in the Lok Sabha, he was filled him with pride on the response across various stakeholders in the country. Focus on youth Given that youth is a big issue, Mr. Afanasiev highlighted the key thrust to the youth category by the GoI towards achieving the 2030 SDGs informs India’s commitment towards supporting the youth and dealing with this demographic peak by addressing issues of education, skill development for employment opportunities among others. With the Government of India proposed to launch a National Development Agenda in the next two- three months committing to the demographic peak. He emphasized the importance of investing in the youth of the country defining the positive strengths he stated:
The energy of the youth should be capitalized, as it will bear dividends to development It will contribute to the skilled workforce of the country Young minds today are more savvy with the new technology and ready to engage in innovations and ideas
Considering youth today is technology driven he pushed for the philosophy of volunteering among the youth especially through the use of modern devices. While, he also cautioned on the need to provide them adequate employment opportunities. He further added that building a nation involves contributing to community and society not necessarily entailing monetary benefits. While, thanking the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs, he specially congratulated the Ministry for shaping a positive environment for the youth especially complimenting on the interest from the highest level of Government.
Aligning the Action Plans with GoIs development goals While enumerating the Action Plans, Mr. Afanasiev indicated the alignment with the action plans and the GoI development plans. In regard to the action plan on social inclusion, India already had set an example with the passage of the Bill on the Disability Inclusion Plan 2016 expected to impact over 20 percent of population comprising of persons with disabilities. Whereas the focus on Disaster Risk Reduction was evident in the Prime Minister’s address at the Annual Conference of Parties (COP)-21 Summit on Environment and Climate Change at Paris, on November 30, 2015 while sharing the 10 points agenda on DRR pushing for development efforts to build Asia’s infrastructure. India is also working on gender empowerment especially increasing women’s participation in the work force. He specified that the action plan introduces social entrepreneurship which emphasizes a socially responsible business models and not just profitability. At the same time sustainability will be an important feature without which there will be no future.
The rest of the developing world is watching India, as this development boost will help them find solutions to deal with the youth population. The country provides a natural eco-system to find localized solution as a result of the prevalence of a democratic structure. India has served as an inspiration to its South-Asian neighbors on solar energy, mobile technology, biotechnology, e-governance, Aadhaar card among many

others. At the same time private sector plays a key role in boosting technology and appreciated YES Bank’s efforts. He added that India’s model of volunteerism could be an inspiration for the rest of the world – especially looking at its scope in scale and size.
2. Mr. Toily Kurbanov, Deputy Executive Coordinator, United Nations Volunteers Programme
Mr. Kurbanov reaffirmed Mr. Afanasiev following up with the fact that the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme established in 1971 has been contributing to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide. Since, then it has forged partnerships with member states to advance national development. He reiterated UN Volunteers commitment in achieving large-scale impact through the promotion of volunteerism to achieve the 17 SDGs.
UNV in India While in India, volunteerism is institutionalized and nationally promoted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs in the form of Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) and National Service Scheme (NSS). He shared that currently, 29 United Nations Volunteers are assigned as District Youth Coordinators to 29 target districts in India
where they are working with more than 124,000 youth volunteers through more than 7,000 youth clubs. UNV
has been able engage with tribal communities and youth with disabilities. UNV has been actively working with
youth groups to enhance their leadership potential, learning, soft skills and vocational trainings. The online portal
to be launched shortly will provide both volunteers and organizations to engage with each other as per interest.
Future of UNV in India
With over 200 million youth in the country – UNV initiative can be strengthened both in partnership and scale.
This will be undertaken through the following efforts:
Promoting volunteerism not just through the efforts of the GoI but also seeking partnership with YES Bank
which seeks to encourage a socially responsible business model through a volunteer base
Strengthening partnerships with the global south to provide a platform for sharing best practices in volunteerism
from other countries
Exploring different methods of partnership through varied advocacy measures
The potential is very huge – Just as they say, ‘Boond boond se banta hai saagar’ (Much like the sea is made up
of every drop of water coming together) - promoting volunteerism will also be achieved with every step forward
with the various partners and stakeholders.
3. Youth volunteering for community development – Volunteer Voices by Mr. Siva Kumar, UNV District Youth Coordinator, Anatapuramu, Andhra Pradesh
Mr. Siva Kumar UNV-DYC shared some of the volunteer movements he has
pursued through diverse initiatives in the Anatapuramu district through
collaborations with RUDESTI/RSETI, Lions Club among others. Giving an insight
into the various initiatives, he highlighted ‘The Project Ripple’ that worked towards
developing the skills among the local youth especially building their confidence in
English and soft skills. Around six local youth were successful in getting into private school, entering
competitions while one girl is supporting her family by giving tuitions. He also shared similar examples of
achievement among various vulnerable communities such as People Living with HIV (PLHIV), SC/STs and
children of women in sex work. Building confidence and ability to shape livelihood has been achievement
parameters for the initiatives undertaken. He further added the entrepreneurship schemes have also been
successful in helping youth to enable them to build innovations. He mentioned one such innovation where two
young men from the SC community who were training in electrical equipment work were asked to use local
resources to prepare a cooler. They used a plastic drum and demonstrated a cooler made of INR 2200 usually
available in the market for up to INR 5000. The budding entrepreneurs have made sale of four such coolers and

aspire to pursue this further. He mentioned the emergence of a strong volunteer movement that is coming together
to support their community.
4. Dr. A. K. Dubey, Secretary (Youth Affairs), Ministry of Youth Affairs, Government of India
Mr. Dubey in his keynote address congratulated the Yes Bank and UNV for the
initiative to promote volunteerism. He emphasized the need for an inclusive growth
within a dynamic society where new ways have to be identified to resolve
problems. He quoted an anecdotal reference to the invention of windows in the
stone ages to the invention of the venetian blinds in the modern times.
He reiterated the need for finding local solutions, constantly reflecting and
relooking at society. Helping and seeking help is ingrained in the human race. As the human race has evolved –
changes have been reflected in the social, socio-economic and business environment. There is no space for
isolation rather effort should be towards inclusion – to take everyone along in the process of development. For
instance, migration is no longer profitable as before. Inclusion should assess needs and should take reference
from the current social milieu.
“Innovations should be socially and economically sustainable. As I recall, in Kerala environmentally sustainable
efforts were initiated almost two-three decades ago has taken shape into social movements. Today, innovation
has moved a step ahead with the Digitization and Digital India efforts”.
He concluded with the quote by Firaq Gorakhpuri, “In the land of Hind, the caravans of the peoples of the world
kept coming in and India kept getting formed”
5. Ms. Preeti Sinha, Senior President and Glocal Convenor of the YES BANK: YES Institute
Ms. Preeti Sinha began with a quote by Swami Vivekananda “Ask nothing; want
nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you multiplied
a thousand fold, but do not think of that now” putting forth the notion of giving at
Yes Bank.
Reflecting on YES Bank’s growth as the 5th largest bank since its establishment 12
years ago has been a significant achievement for the bank. The bank’s core thinking encourages entrepreneurship
and mobilizing capital for development. Hence, the YES institute was set up as a practicing think-tank focusing
on India’s sustainable and inclusive socio-economic growth and development. Both equity and equality are
necessary for the growth and development of the country. Currently only 1.5 percent of India’s youth are engaged
in volunteering is much less in comparing globally. The recent digitization initiative by the Government has given
a boost to technological innovations. Private sector is supporting entrepreneurial initiatives globally –
crowdsourcing initiatives like Freelancer in Australia are supporting projects globally.
YES Institute will promote volunteerism with its already set up base where the bank has been investing in
knowledge volunteers – a social capital at each branch location that meets on weekend to support the community
around it. This YES community is based on a huge volunteering initiative. Apart from that YES Institute will
engage in impact investing, social entrepreneurship among other initiative to support the volunteerism in the
country.

Highlights
I. Release of the four Action Plans for implementation of National Youth Policy 2014:
Action Plan on Social Inclusion: The Action Plan suggests creating safe spaces through youth clubs for
socially excluded youth groups (disabled, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, women) to articulate
identity issues, barriers and constraints with self and the outside without threat and negation.
Action Plan on Social Entrepreneurship: The Action Plans suggests enhancing social entrepreneurship
through the skill development programme based on needs and interest of youth by developing the youth
clubs in each block of every district in India as education, information and incubation hub for promoting
social entrepreneurship with at least 25% participants from marginalized communities and at least 25%
women.
Action Plan on Gender Justice and Equality : The Action Plan suggests creation of student gender
champions/youth club composing of student gender officers (proportionate number of LGBTQI
members, women and men) who receive comprehensive training from women’s/LGBTQI organisations
within schools/colleges/ universities to act as interim points to address grievances and undertake
trainings, gender audits of schools and take lead in gender equality and justice activities.
Action Plan on Environment Management and Disaster Risk Reduction : The Action Plan suggests
engaging youth volunteers during all phases of disaster risk reduction i.e. disaster response,
preparedness, recovery, risk mitigation and prevention through youth in community based disaster risk
management planning.
II Action research - State of Youth Volunteerism in India and
its impact by Elaine Colaco, Think-through consulting
Ms. Elaine Colaco presented the key highlights from the action research on
the state of youth volunteerism in India. The evidence is expected to close the
gap on the limited information / data / statistics about youth volunteering,
forms and impact. With 125 stakeholder consultations held in 11 states and
responses from 1300 individuals, interesting insights have emerged on
progression of volunteerism, motivation to volunteer, the barriers/challenges often faced while
pursuing a volunteering. Some of the key findings include:

While reiterating the culture of volunteering existed traditionally, there is also a prevaling shift in
the mindset for persevering towards more individualistic goals.
Though there is an interest in volunteering but most respondent complained on the lack of
awareness on the platforms available where one can explore to pursue an area of interest.
There is a certain amount institutional promotion of volunteering especially as a requirement for
academics and career growth, which has also led to the increased interest.
While the debate continues whether it is necessary to provide monetary gains to sustain interest.
Overall the impact of volunteering has been found to be essential in the overall development of the
personality especially nurturing future talent and leadership. Case studies from across the country such as
Chattisgarh, Kozhikode, Delhi were quoted for the large volunteer base either as a result of strong
mentorship, volunteer management skills and common goals for collective good.
III Short film A 6-minute short film showcased the encouraging efforts of UNV District Youth Coordinator Ms.
Hindaprabha Karve from Thane – Palghar district in Maharashtra. Through her active involvement and
motivation, Ms. Hindaprabha was able to mobilize youth volunteers to address the issue of unemployment,
out-migration from the district and malnutrition of children amongst Katkari tribe – one of the primitive
tribes in India. With the active involvement of NYK youth volunteers who were gathered from colleges by
Ramdas – NYK volunteer, they have been engaging with the community to deter migration giving them
information on the benefits of MNREGA. The volunteers have been keeping a constant check on the
Aanganwadi center (nursery) ensuring that mid day meals are provided. The activities have resulted 5,000
community members getting job cards under MGNREGA (one of the largest employment programmes in
the world) leading to reduced out-migration and coordination with district authorities in better
implementation of mid-may meal scheme for children.
III Signing the Letter of Intent with YES BANK As per the initial discussions between YES Institute/YES Bank and UNV, the following initiatives have been proposed:
Instituting annual V-Awards (Volunteering Awards), in a YES Bank, UNV, Ministry of Youth Affairs
and Sports partnership mode covering all 29 districts (the 29 districts on Map of India in Annex) and
media for high visibility;
UNV-YES Institute, (YES Bank) District Development Initiative – Introducing projects focused on
Social Entrepreneurship and skill development of rural youth within the ongoing project districts;
Partnering on digital payment system to promote cashless and digital banking for rural youth
through YES Bank branches in the project districts. This will include engaging young people in
awareness generation activities, training and education on the usage of machines and digital aspects
and most importantly providing machines for digital transactions;
Other events for visibility and media attraction - Campaigns on thematic areas such as SDGs and to
celebrate important days such as International Volunteers Day, National Youth Day etc.

IV Online - Volunteering Portal In line with the ongoing Digital India initiative of Government of India and to harness the potential of more
than 11 million youth volunteers under NYKS and NSS, an online volunteering portal for India is being
developed by UNV to connect volunteers and volunteer seeking organizations in India. The platform will
help to promote youth volunteerism in India, connect youth networks, volunteer-involving organizations,
civil society, governments and the private sector to promote recognition of youth volunteering.
Insights from the discussion
The release of the action plans was followed by an interactive discussion where members from the civil society put forth some issues they had confronted, challenges overcome and some possible solutions around the promotion of volunteering. Below mentioned are the key insights emerging from the discussion.
Role of the welfare state and volunteerism:
The general perception is that often there is a lag between initiating new policies and fully implementing them, citing the example of the recent policy for persons with disability. Hence, the possible challenges in the implementing volunteering program was necessary. One such suggested measure was institutionalizing volunteerism in the present structures. It was very important then the Government of India must make concerted efforts to ensure that volunteering complements its focus on development. It was emphasized there is no shrinkage of the welfare state and in no way volunteering is replacing government’s responsibility.
A collective feeling was echoed in the fact that at times volunteering is an act of helping others in need. However, this maybe deterred by institutional processes but there is a need to draw a fine balance between human solidarity and volunteerism. Training and risk management should be both part of the volunteer management to avert such eventualities.
Inclusion and Sustainability In order to succeed in the action plan on social inclusion, it was strongly felt that greater efforts are needed to engage the vulnerable communities such as the minorities, SC/STs, PWDs considering they are not yet at par in the development process. Further, it was discussed that during the SDG review in July, India will present on the targets vis a vis the indicators which would be a good exercise to assess the situation and take necessary steps.
Another important parameter for successful volunteering discussed was ‘sustainability’. Both research and experiences shared represented that any program that is project driven and lacks long-term vision

often finds it difficult to sustain interest. Sustainability is certainly the cornerstone of every programme today. It still needs to be understood that India is going through a transition process moving from project-based interventions to ideas that can be sustained and scaled. While the momentum is gathering, another area that could be explored is the inclusion of volunteering as an activity across the various ministries and departments could give greater momentum to the programme. Similarly, online volunteerism is also another step to provide the boost and greater access to volunteering while cutting across any exclusion.
Finally concluding that any new movement should be viewed through cautious optimism and that volunteerism
should not be concurred as zero sum game but a positive sum game.
