Shining a Spotlight on Grassroots Innovation

TARAgram Yatra 2025 introduces the NGO Programme Showcase — a special platform to identify, support, and amplify impactful field-level innovations from grassroots civil society organisations.

Through this initiative, two winning NGOs will be selected to showcase their community-driven development models before a national and international audience of Yatris. Their work will be experienced firsthand during the Yatra’s Day 3 Field Visit.

All shortlisted entries will receive a stall at the TARAgram Innovation Mela in Delhi, along with two complimentary passes to the Yatra. This enables meaningful engagement with policymakers, CSR leaders, funders, and the media.

If your programme demonstrates innovation, strong community engagement, and addresses climate resilience, inclusive livelihood, or circular economy — this is your moment to be seen, supported, and scaled.

Apply by: 15 July 2025
Entry Fee: ₹25,000 per organisation

Inclusions: Two Yatra passes + Mela exhibition stall + national exposure
