In the heart of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, a spirited young man named Harish Rathore stands as a beacon of change. Proudly wearing the title of U-Ambassador of U-Report India, Harish's journey is an inspiring tale of empowerment and advocacy.
Harish embarked on his U-Report journey in 2021, realizing the incredible potential U-Report India holds for youth. As a U-Reporter, he discovered a platform that not only amplifies voices but also addresses critical issues like mental health and climate change.
On September 30, 2023, Harish transformed a routine train journey into an opportunity for change. Spotting a group of students, he engaged them with a simple question about UNICEF, paving the way to introduce U-Report India. Through fun tasks on Fundoo and skill-building courses, he inspired 50 new U-Reporters to join the movement.
Undeterred by challenges, Harish organized an event at Jai Narayan Vyas University, Jodhpur, on October 5, 2023. Collaborating with a supportive professor, he navigated bureaucratic hurdles to enlighten 50 students on how U-Report India could shape their careers.
He explained how, "Through U-Report, you can participate in campaigns and petitions aimed at influencing policies and decisions that impact youth. Your collective voice can drive real change. Stay informed about essential issues and developments in your community and country. U-Report provides reliable information to help you make informed decisions. Connect with like-minded young people across India. U-Report fosters a sense of community and unity among youth who share common concerns. U-Report offers training and skill development opportunities, empowering you to become effective advocates and leaders in your communities."
