India consists of more than 6 lakh villages and is an agrarian country with around 60% of its population depending directly or indirectly on agriculture.
International Rural Development Immersion Camp (IRDIC 2018) is a first of its kind program being conducted in India to provide global youth with a robust grounding in development concepts and theories and equip participants with the analytical and practical skills they need to engage critically in development activities and debates from an interdisciplinary perspective.
India, being a young nation with half of its population below 25, is the worlds largest democracy and is likely to have the world’s largest workforce by 2027, with a billion people aged between 15 and 64. This also means youth are the source of development with the tremendous potential to bring social change.
We believe that its high time to engage Global youth towards building a sustainable future and help achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. For this, we need to educate,expose and train youth towards achieving these objectives.
IRDIC 2018 is a 5-day camp focused on Rural development, youth leadership, and social change. It serves as a launchpad for aspiring youth to contribute to development sector of their respective countries.
