Jan Suraaj Foundation dreams of an India that meets the aspirations of its youth. Our mission is to develop and empower progressive youth leaders across India.

Starting our journey in Bihar, we have built a network of 20,000+ youth leaders who run Youth Clubs in their local communities. These clubs increase access to sports, education, health, livelihood and entitlements for their members, while also seeking to popularise and deepen Jan Suraaj’s progressive values.

The immersive experience of running a community organisation, along with regular training and support, will empower our youth network to become progressive leaders of Bihar and beyond. They will emerge as future entrepreneurs, social workers and elected representatives.

Each of our youth leaders draw their motivation and energy from Prashant Kishor, the founder of Jan Suraaj. He has been walking across Bihar's villages and towns since 2nd October 2022. During his padyatra, he inspires the youth to join forces with Jan Suraaj to help transform Bihar from a state of poverty and helplessness to a region of prosperity and hope.

Jan Suraaj Foundation’s progressive values are based on Mahatma Gandhi’s life and work, especially his teachings of ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth) and sarvodaya (universal progress). We are also inspired by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s struggle for equality and justice and his focus on the primacy of education. Our work is guided by India’s democratic and constitutional values that lay the foundation of people-led good governance, i.e. Jan Suraaj.
