Together, we can make difference
Reformation doesn’t happen just by a mere thought of it. Thought and action should go together while we work for a cause. Patriotism is not singing a National Anthem or talking about nation’s development on Independence day. True love for a nation is when we work for its betterment every day. It all starts with one person, one thought and one step that is YOU

Some of our Achievements
Right to Service Act
To curb corruption and delayed processes in government organization's, the innovative youngsters under YPP under the leadership of Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, formulated a bill wherein any government official failing to provide the requested service within the stipulated time frame would pay the penalty for every delayed day to the respective citizen from his own pocket.
National Education Policy
National Education Policy submitted it to the State Legislative Committee, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) after the inclusion of important suggestions made by youth who participated in the discussions. This bill has been implemented in 2020, YPP impacted the considerable impact on NEP with necessary changes made according to the demographic/political/cultural conditions.

Collaborations
As Featured In
Topics We Discuss
01.
Education
India’s youthful population, with 29.5% aged 0–14, is a demographic dividend that demands quality education. YPP, inspired by FDR’s vision, advocates for inclusive, skill-based reforms to empower youth. We shaped the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, integrating health and equity provisions to ensure accessible, holistic education for millions, fostering future leaders.
02.
Health
Health is vital for India’s progress. YPP champions health equity and system resilience, supporting FDR’s Family Physician model to deliver universal, affordable care. We address low public funding (1.3% GDP), inequitable access (70% private outpatient care), and governance inefficiencies through youth-led advocacy, including NEP health inputs, to ensure high-quality healthcare for all.
03.
Agriculture
Outdated policies shackle India’s farmers, limiting productivity and livelihoods. YPP, guided by FDR’s reform agenda, pushes for liberalized agricultural policies, market access, and technology adoption. Our youth engage policymakers to advocate for sustainable farming practices, empowering farmers to thrive in a modern economy.
04.
Local Governance
The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments (1993) promised decentralized governance, yet implementation lags. YPP, aligned with FDR, advocates for empowered local bodies with fiscal autonomy and accountability. Through policy boot camps, we train youth to strengthen grassroots governance, ensuring effective service delivery for communities.
05.
Judicial
India’s judiciary is a trusted institution, but flawed appointment mechanisms hinder its efficacy. YPP, drawing on FDR’s insights, advocates for transparent, merit-based judicial appointments to elevate the best to the Bench. Our youth-led discussions push for reforms to enhance judicial efficiency and public trust.
06.
Public policy
Public policy shapes solutions to real-world challenges. YPP empowers youth to craft evidence-based policies in health, education, and governance. Collaborating with FDR, we advocate for liberal, inclusive policies, like increased healthcare funding (2.5% GDP), to drive systemic change and foster human flourishing.
07.
Electoral Reforms
A democracy’s health hinges on fair elections and robust political parties. YPP, inspired by FDR, pushes for electoral reforms to ensure transparent candidate selection and accountable party functioning. Our youth advocate for voter awareness and systemic changes to strengthen democratic representation.
08.
Political Reforms
Flawed electoral processes alienate public-spirited citizens from politics. YPP, guided by FDR, champions political reforms to attract principled leaders. Through policy advocacy, we promote transparent funding, inclusive participation, and accountability, empowering youth to reshape India’s political landscape for the public good.
09.
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
