I'm Abhishek Nath Tiwari, a 24-year-old from a small
village in Uttar Pradesh. I recently completed my B.Tech, and I'm here to
share my journey with you, a journey that has brought me closer to a platform
that's changing young lives - U-Report India.
It all started with a simple Facebook post. A post that introduced me to U-Report India. Curiosity got the better of me, and I joined U-Report India on WhatsApp. Little did I know that this decision would open up a world of opportunities and learning. |

I quickly became an engaged U-Reporter, diving into
countless conversations on U-Report India and earning those valuable U-Points
along the way. These points weren't just numbers; they were a testament to my
dedication and passion for making a difference.
One day, after participating in a U-Report campaign,
I received something truly special - a certificate from UNICEF and YuWaah.
This recognition was the key that unlocked the door to a remarkable community
- the Social Media Champions Team. Here, I joined forces with fellow
U-Reporters who shared my enthusiasm for content creation.
As part of this team, I had the privilege to learn
more about U-Report India and even meet the person behind the platform, Mr.
Amitayush, the Digital Communication and Youth Engagement Officer. His
guidance and mentorship allowed me to hone my content creation skills and
reach new heights.

But my journey didn't stop there. One day, I received
a unique request from the Social Media Champions Team. They needed a picture
of me holding a sports equipment in one hand and a phone with the U-Report
India logo in the other. This was in celebration of National Sports Day on
August 29, 2023. I was ready to take on the challenge and be a part of this
exciting campaign.
However, something inside me told me that I could do
more. I realized that U-Report India was not just a platform for me but an
opportunity for countless other young individuals to explore valuable content
on life skills and career exploration while becoming a powerful voice for the
youth of our country. |

So, I decided to sponsor a sports day in a local
school. The journey was not without its challenges; many schools declined my offer
due to ongoing exams. But perseverance paid off, and one school embraced the
idea of U-Report India advocacy through a sports event.
We organized a Kabaddi event, and despite having no
financial aid, I got a banner printed with the U-Report India logo, arranged
for T-shirts featuring the logo, and provided mementoes, trophies, and medals
for the winners. It was a moment of pride and fulfillment.

I didn't embark on this journey alone; I sought
guidance from Mr. Amitayush regarding student orientation on U-Report India.
During the Kabaddi event's award ceremony, I had the privilege to address the
students. I told them about U-Report India, how it could benefit their
careers and studies, and how they could become Youth Champions.
I encouraged them to join the platform on WhatsApp
and to spread the word, ensuring that their peers could also benefit from the
incredible opportunities that U-Report India offers.
So, here's my message to all you young, dynamic
individuals out there - U-Report India is not just a platform; it's a gateway
to endless possibilities. It's a place where your voice matters, your
opinions count, and your future can be shaped. Join us, be a part of this
incredible journey, and let's make a difference together!
