Creating a society of infinite solutions for finite problems : Pawan,Changeagent '12

How often do we come across youngsters who aspire for a solution oriented society where people see the social problems as challenges and team-up to form creative solutions around them? A society where there is no need of NGOs but social entrepreneurship flourishes; where social service is redundant but sense of social responsibility prevails; where there are finite problems but infinite ideas to solve those problems !

Pawan Gupta, an alumnus of Youth Alliance , is one of those inspiring youngsters who lives and breathes by this mantra. Affected by the inequalities in their surroundings, Pawan joined in with  the team of Seva Setu, an initiative based on the idea of connecting all those who are willing to solve the problems of the society. Focusing primarily on the health issues, SevaSetu is trying to help people in having access to their fundamental rights.

They have started their pilot projects like Mother Care, Kids Care & Citizen Care in Bihar using mobile phones as a powerful tool while planning and monitoring the field work remotely. The projects are currently in a transition phase and the team has slowly and steadily started focusing on the scale of their impact.

Pawan’s vision is to create a society where there is no limitation of resources and ideas and his mission is to merge the concept of Corporate and Social sectors and run a sustainable entity whose aim is to create tangible social impact.

About his experience at YA, Pawan says, “Though I was with Youth Alliance for a small period of time, it was as an eye opener for me as for everybody else. It actually took me through a tunnel full of darkness but it also showed the enormous light at the end of it and gave me the confidence”.

With pride and belief in the amazing individual that he is, we wish Pawan all the luck and hope he goes a long way with his vision.
