I Society & Public Policy Hindi Seminar January 2010, Delhi

We saw the completion of yet another terrific youth seminar on 24 January 2010 giving the year an excellent kick-start for the Centre for Civil Society (CCS). The I, Society & Public Seminar is designed for the youth, especially students. Seminar sessions were focused on analyzing problems of society and identifying the (public) policies responsible for it. Issues were looked upon from a broader perspective and examples from other countries cited to simplify things. The program was a mix of panel discussions, working groups, role plays, open forums and interesting short activities and energizers.

38 students from 11 cities representing some of the most sought after colleges and institutions in India like the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Lady Sri Ram College, Symbiosis Institute, St. Stephens, Punjab University, London School of Economics etc participated in the Seminar. Participants were a mix of technical and non technical students from varying backgrounds (Economics, Law, Engineering, Medical, Media etc).

During the course of the seminar, students were engaged in designing public policies on a few issues, on the basis of which the best group was awarded a prize. The Seminar concluded with a session where all the participants shared ideas on how they could keep in touch with CCS and be involved with our programs and activities and help in spreading the message of freedom and liberty in the days ahead.
