Young Indians (Yi) is an integral part of the Confederation of Indian
Industry (CII), a non-government, not-for-profit, industry led and
industry managed organisation playing a proactive role in India's
development process. Yi was formed in the year 2002, with an
objective of creating a platform for young Indians to realise the
dream of a developed nation. Yi has around 1200 direct members
in 24 city chapters, 160 members in 3 corporate chapters and
engages around 12,000 members through its district chapter,
Farmer Nets and Student Nets.
Yi membership includes young progressive Indians between the
age group of 25 & 40 and comprises entrepreneurs, professionals
and achievers from different walks of life. “To become the voice of
young Indians globally” being the vision of Yi, it provides a platform
for young Indians to participate in and contribute by becoming an
integral part of the Indian growth story.
Yi works effectively for promoting leadership skills for the
development of its members through the learning programs and
missions to companies of global excellence in India and abroad;
the development and engagement of students through its 93
Student Net platforms that has 5578 students; and two Farmers

than 15000 students across 57 centers and has successfully managed campaigns like the
'SYightboard Project', providing blackboards to schools across different cities, reaching out to
1070 schools nationally and impacting approximately 2,60,000 children.
Yi has been instrumental in skilling & placing 1300 youth under the aegis of its Employability

sphere of Environment, Yi conducts Green I contest to encourage and motivate school children to
bring out sustainable green campuses through ideas, campaigns for tree plantation, solid waste
management projects, involving citizens and children in the process. Yi is also in the process of
planting one million saplings across the country through its 'One Million Tree Project'.
The Next Practices platform of Yi brings an opportunity for students and members to engage in a
structured discussion to bring out “out of the box” ideas and evolve solutions to common
problems. This is implemented through the “Blue Ocean Dialogue” and the “Packet of Seeds”. Yi
strives to engage members and students in cultural activities like musical concerts, visiting to
heritage monuments for learning, traditional dinner, celebrating the 100th year of the Indian
National Anthem and initiatives that connect the youth with areas inclined towards Arts, Sports
and Culture. Yi engages around 10000 people each year during the
World Heritage Week.
On the international arena, Yi has engaged with the BMW Foundation

thought leaders from both countries to engage in a constructive
dialogue for improving trade, economic and people relations. It is one
of the proud founders of the G20 Young Entrepreneur Alliance
representing India and took a strong delegation from 19 cities in India
to the Young Entrepreneur Summit at France last year. Yi hosted the
G20 Leadership Assembly in New Delhi in January 2012 that had the
Presidents and Sherpas of the G20 countries.
It joined hands with the Commonwealth Youth Programme, Asia
Centre to facilitate and organize the 'Envisioning Workshop' of Youth
Entrepreneurship organisations in the Commonwealth Asia Region to
form the Commonwealth Asia Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs.
Yi has organized learning missions to UK, China, Singapore,
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Israel, Turkey, Ethiopia,
Tanzania and Zambia. It has also worked with the Planning Commission of India in conducting
consultation workshops across its chapters for accumulating a youth perspective to be included
in the 12th Five Year Plan and with the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India to
facilitate missions of visiting delegations of young entrepreneurs from around the world.
The National Summit of Yi is a yearly feature that helps the young minds to connect with people
and organizations that have displayed excellence through their work and stand out as an
inspiration to the youth today. Retreat to places of tourist and historical importance gives
members an opportunity to meet in an informal atmosphere and network to enhance the
organizations reach and value.
With nine years of glorious past and decades ahead that promise nothing short, Yi intends to
become a larger movement of young people and promote the attitude of “We Can, We Will”.

Dear Young Indians,
The greatest wealth and strength of any nation is its youth. The future of a nation lies in the hands of its posterity.
The quality of its youth determines the kind of future, the nation will have. Therefore, if we want to ensure a
bright future for our country, we first need to strengthen and empower our youth. The youth of any nation and
society are its potential energy. They are the powerhouse and storehouse of infinite energy. They are the ones
who are the pride of the nation. It is the youth which brings laurels to their country.
If we can harness this powerhouse of the nation in the right direction then the country can reach untold heights.
All we need is to direct the energy of our youth in constructive channels that lead to development and progress.
The creative potential of the younger generation coupled with their zeal, enthusiasm, energy and versatility can
work wonders for the country. We need to empower our youth so that they can make a better tomorrow. Let us
focus on constructively using the power of the youth for the betterment of the nation. Let us frame such policies
which aim at empowering our youth so that we can be assured of a better future and a brighter tomorrow.
Yi has been able to bring together young Indians from all across the nation and garner strength, develop focus
and most importantly undertake a holistic approach to nation building with a "We can We will" approach. I am
delighted to note that the Young Indian Chhattisgarh chapter ably led by Mr. Dinesh Agrawal, with his competent
team, has been admirably successful in engaging youth of the region in the development process of the nation.
It is my sincere wish that Yi takes up some projects that will fulfill a long term need of the city and society. CII is
indeed proud that Yi shaping exactly the way my senior colleagues at CII have envisioned. I am sure Yi continues
to grow and make significant contribution.
My best wishes to Young Indians in their journey to excellence in making a better India.

Young IndiansWE CAN WE WILL
Dear Members,
It has been a personal privilege to work with Mr Dinesh Agrawal Yi's Chairman, whose determination, grit and
energy have been the driving force for Yi's chapters and initiatives. I sincerely thank all the members of Yi Raipur
chapter for their continuous support in making the events in and around Raipur a success, I expect the members
to continue their valuable support in initiating and scaling up the activities and projects. I would also like to
appreciate the energy, enthusiasm and zest of the team of Yi Raipur Chapter who have made this year so
successful.
It takes an individual to initiate a process and a small group to begin a movement. This essentially sums up what
Yi is all about. Yi as a body of like minded individuals has been able to bring together young Indians from across
the nation to undertake a holistic approach to nation building where it is not just growth in business that
becomes the point of focus, but growth that is also inclusive and which reaches the less fortunate. It is especially
heartening to see the emphasis on reaching out to the less fortunate elements of society through the various Yi
initiatives being currently undertaken.
Although we have had good growth in the State's economy during the past few years our state still faces many
serious challenges. The Yi movement has grown with strong moral and ethical values and is eager to bring about
positive change in terms of both establishing a new set of priorities in terms of what to focus on, and also by
doing things in a more ethical manner - reaffirming its commitment to its objectives on Education, Employment,
Health Care and the Environment.
Although Yi provides a platform for the interactions between the various sections of the Society, this year
emphasis should be laid on bringing together the Members (industry leaders), the Students (Future of the
country) and the Farmers (Ground zero entrepreneurs). Together they will and they can help the Government in
taking proper decisions and forming better legislations. Thus giving it all back to the Society wherein they are a
part of the recipients of the fruits.
Yi is unique in its objectives, composition and lineage. And fortunate to exist at the current time of India's history
and empowered by people of our age group. We can truly achieve whatever we choose to dream. That is the
power of being a Young Indian!04
