About Us
As the pandemic ran roughshot over the country, leaving personal loss and economic devastation in its wake, India found itself on an inflexion point. The recovery has been slow, but sure. As one of the largest and oldest community of entrepreneurs in this country, we reflected on our 12 year long exercise of inspiring and encouraging youth in building the country, we were posed with the challenge of taking the physical journey into the digital space.
Here we stand, a year removed and one successful digital yatra later, armed with multiple initiatives that are doing fantastic work with the larger community and an even larger network of alumni hard at work on fulfilling their pledge.
Join us, as the Jagriti Digital Yatra takes you on a 15-day digital journey combining eminent speakers, power-packed initiatives and a dynamic fraternity; all driven by the boundless ambition to build the nation through enterprise. With the aim to inspire, innovate and incubate, the Jagriti Digital Yatra is a confluence of change-makers, leaders, problem-solvers and innovators. It focuses on the themes of Agriculture, Health, Technology, Handicraft and Apparel, Women Empowerment and Urbanization and interlinking entrepreneurship with nation-building. The Digital Yatra is accepting applications for over 2000 changemakers this year, building on our strong legacy of extending unyielding support to young entrepreneurs wherever possible.

Jagriti yatra is a nationbuilding exercise that will transform your perceptions, attitude and meaning of life
Soumitra Roy
I found a new myself within these days. And this digital yatra is really really worthy for me this year. This journey might have not been possible for me it had not been digitised this year.
Dr. Trisha Rajpurohit
Juggling between hospital duty and Jagruti digital yatra has been an experience I shall never forget. This journey of Chakra the digital yatra has completely transformed my perception of hope. Teaching us the importance of collaboration over competition, clubbing together empathy and purpose, growing and evolving together, the learnings are endless and the memories are surely to last forever.
Riddhi Bhatt
I was shocked and the ease at which I could express myself and be appreciated for it. No one here dismissed my aspirations and claim them to be utopian. That felt different. Meeting like-minded passionate people were respectful towards each other was a pleasant surprise. Each person here only wanted to go forward and just dive into this sea which had endless opportunities. The professional, social and emotional networks I was able to meet in these 15 days are overwhelming.Hi have a much broader perspective towards what I want from life and most importantly how I CAN BE THE CHANGE.
Pratikshit Sharma
Forgive me for not able to find the right words to express my gratitude. This was for sure transformational and life exchanging experience.
Mallika Mathur
As a mother of a six-year-old, I really found it almost impossible to be on a physical yatra for such a long time, but the digital version gave me this opportunity of experiencing it first hand. The energy and vibrance that my group members brought during the interactions was infectious. It brought back my dreams, it actually awakened me literally Jagriti happened.
Sayali Deshpande
Jagruti Digital yatra has changed as bit by bit, nudging slightly to be a different person, making us aware of the realities of India and gently moving us to pay back to society without any arrogance and ego. Yatra has given us the arsenal, now is our turn to pay back
Sindhu Kandipati
What an amazing digital journey. I got an opportunity to listen to so many amazing life stories Filled with highs and lows stop there is a common thread of all those stories “NEVER GIVE UP” & A strong passion to make a positive difference.
Tanaya Unhale
I don’t want to call it a digital yatra, because even though the mode was digital, I don’t believe that its learnings were diminished at all compared to the physical yatra. Much learning and unlearning has happened in last 14 days. Every day we were yanked out of privilege induced stupor and made to look at reality. I want to pull out of what I have learnt and felt into words, But I haven’t been able to do justice to it. I feel truly privileged to be part of this digital yatra.
Sneha Raman
Thank you Jagriti Digital Yatra for being so open to teaching me new perspectives, concepts, learnings, being all in all collaborative as a programme – truly excepting ourselves and each one of us for who and what we are.
Swati
It feels so empty right now. Even though this yatra was digital, but it feels as if we were all together for real. I got habitual to the wake up calls, the role model sessions and the interaction that I had with amazing people. Thank you for giving me a new perspective, new learning and experience. I cannot thank enough for the impact this yatra has created.
Surabhi Hazra
Took me some time to collect my thoughts. This Yatra was way more than I expected. I didn’t think that I could learn (and unlearn) so much, feel so much, think so much, in a 15 day timeframe - But, I did.I came to this Yatra not knowing the destination. I still do not know the destination. I’m still searching. But I know, I have the STRENGTH to find it, and I WILL FIND IT. And I won’t be alone. Thank you EVERYONE - JDY Admin, DERCs, Facilitators & Yatris – for bringing your energy, sharing your thoughts, ideas, your stories, the Goosebumps, the happy tears, and the INSPIRATION. I have learnt profound things from each and every session and conversation. You ALL are amazing! I’m not sure if 2021 will lead me to the Yatra again (I pray it does), but I hope to meet you there. Cholo, aami aashchi! Aabar dekha hobe. (Bengali) Chalo, mai aa rhi hoon. Phir milenge. Take care, and Good Luck!

पूरी जागृति टीम का तहेदिल से शुक्रिया... शब्द काफ़ी नहीं होंगें धन्यबाद कहने के लिए... कोरोना के कारण फिजिकल यात्रा को लेकर शुरुआत में जो मायूसी थी उसे आप सबने बेहतर संयोजन और मनरंजन से शुरूआती दिनों में ही डिजिटली भी रोमांचित कर दिया... कोरोना काल में एक जगह बैठकर इससे ज्यादा शानदार, दिल को आह्लादित करने वाला, मन को रोमांचित करने वाला, तन को स्फुरित करने वाला कुछ नहीं हो सकता था... आपने यात्रा को ही नहीं जाते- जाते 2021 को भी अविस्मरणीय बना दिया.... कितना कुछ लिख सकता हूँ इस यात्रा के बारे में .... लेकिन अभी नहीं.... भावों को मचलते रहने देना चाहिए ताकि इस यात्रा का रोमांच भीतर कुलबुलाता रहे... इस यात्रा की सीख कानों में गूंजती रहे और दिल में उतरकर समाती रहे... यात्रा में देखे गये सपने आंखों के सामने झिलमिलाते रहे... यात्रा में मिले प्यार और साथ का एहसास महसूस होता रहे..... जीवन में ऐसी कोई नास्टेल्जिया वाली बात नहीं रही अभी तक इसलिए कभी नास्टेल्जिक नहीं हुआ लेकिन शायद अब ये बात नहीं कह सकता..... बहुत याद आयेगी| किसी मोड़ पर फिर मुलाकात होगी, सभी को प्यार और नमस्कार! अभी बहुत कुछ लिखना है यात्रा के बारे में तथा सभी प्यारे और संभावनाओं से भरे सहयात्रियों के बारे में नेटवर्क और फोन आफ होने वाला है इसलिए बस इतना ही ( पूरी यात्रा हमने गाँव में सरसों के खेत में बैठकर की है)
