Yatra

During the Yatra, participants will experience impactful development models across the country which are scalable and replicable.

On Day 2, the extensive field visit would take the Yatris through the programmes that DA has been implementing in the region to understand models and prototypes which could be replicated at other geographies. The visit would also get you to interact with community members with whom we have been co-creating these solutions.

On Day 3, field visits will be taking the Yatris to the programmes being implemented by the winning NGOs of the Civil Society Programme Showcase Competition. This would bring a wider learning for the Yatris.
