Youth Venture

iVote helps young people find their civic voice.

Much of the Mumbai youth population is disillusioned by politics – they feel that corruption reigns and that youth interests are unrepresented. This has created a high number of young people – particularly students – that have removed themselves from political dialogue. However, iVote believes that political awareness drives social progress, and their hopes have been bolstered by a recent influx of young Indian politicians. iVote wishes to turn political apathy into activism. The Venture strives to increase voter registration among students by performing outreach at local campuses. iVote hosts a range of activities including film screenings and discussions, all of which are aimed at engaging young people in political dialogue of India.
