YIN Pune President, Jaikranti College
Through YIN, I got an opportunity to connect with other students from various colleges. I improved my communication skills, overcame stage fear and realised that I need to give back to society. I got a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the youth towards society. YIN has the ability to change people to make a difference to society. I am the change.

It is because of YIN that I believe in myself and believe that I can do anything. YIN made me realise that nothing is impossible. I have seen a tremendous growth in my confidence levels and also understood my goals in life and how to achieve them.

Joining YIN was a great experience for me as it helped me get involved in many social activities. My wish of becoming an element of social change has come true. The forum training gave me the ability to identify social and personal problems. I developed good leadership qualities and a problem solving attitude. I would strongly recommend youth to join YIN to be a part of social change.

YIN has played an important role in inspiring me to work for myself and society. I have seen changes around me as we are trying to ideate and implement these ideas. YIN has boosted my confidence and even helped me with my communication skills, which has further helped in enhancing my network.

I would like to congratulate Abhijit Pawar for this initiative. The youth is the future of our country and I am happy that YIN is directing the youth towards positive change. Once a movement gets social support it becomes powerful and YIN is heading in the same way. I feel proud that I got an opportunity to participate in this movement. I hope this this work started by Sakal reaches the last person of the society.

Rajashri Patil,
Social activist
Through YIN, Sakal Media Group is aiming for overall development of youngsters. For those who want to achieve something YIN is the medium. It is satisfying to see that in Maharashtra the young generation has joined hands to do something for the society. Such a movement must reach all the levels of the society. I like to work with YIN as there is no other social work bigger than this.
Nandu Madhav, Actor
YIN is an unique initiative and nothing like this has ever been done by any other media group so far. It is the responsibility of all to take such projects forward to solve the problems of women and underprivileged. For YIN, I travelled to a lot of places in Maharashtra. I observed that the youth energy needs direction and YIN is serving this purpose.
