Experience the Youth Movement, pay us a visit!
A visit that will widen the perspective and heighten the sense of service towards fellow humans
A visit to SVYM’s intervention sites in the rural and tribal belts of Southern Karnataka is a unique experience blending nature, culture and the resilient human spirit striving to strike a meaningful balance between modernisation and age old traditions
Some reactions that we regularly hear from our well wishers who visit us include comments like – i’m moved by the simple life of tribal people, – I’ll never forget the beaming smiles of the students while having a ragi ball (millet ball) with them in the canteen of our tribal school, the sighting of an elephant cross the road or the change in perspective about social development on closely seeing the life of rural and tribal people.
For professionals, students and enthusiasts coming from the social development sphere, a visit to our rural hospital, tribal school and the livelihood centre is an immersive experience offering insight into the way our development interventions operate towards the development of human and social capital of the local communities and the challenges and opportunities that are innate to the settings we work with. Numerous medical professionals, students from global universities and Govt. officials visit our facilities and demonstration sites as part of planned exposure visits and it’s just the beginning of a long association towards a collaboration to build a society free of deprivation & strife.
