Tata Jagriti Yatra
Tata Jagriti Yatra is an ambitious train journey of discovery and transformation that takes hundreds of India's highly motivated youth on an 18 day national odyssey. The aim is to awaken the spirit of entrepreneurship.The vision of Jagriti is to inspire young Indians living in the middle of the Indian demographic diamond (Rs 40 - Rs 120 per day) to lead development by taking to enterprise. By doing so, they can turn from job seekers to job creators

]Enterprise Led Development has been applauded as a key paradigm to bring about grassroots development. India’s demography represents a diamond more than a pyramid. The middle of this diamond consists of 50 Crore Indians, who are no longer destitute but often lack the means to earn a living. Government jobs are few and far between, and for these young Indians enterprise is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Instead of relying on charitable aid or government grants, enterprise led development seeks to create sustainable and scaleable enterprises in the middle of the Indian demographic diamond. By participating in local, scaleable enterprise, these Indians, most of whom are young will not only find employment, they will create employment for others.

Tata Jagriti Yatra is one of the key strands of Jagriti to create national awareness about this program, and to build leaders who will follow the path of enterprise led development in their lives
