Four years back, I left @IDinsight to make a new beginning. But with no specific opportunity or plan. Many thought it was strange. I never explained why. The truth: I realised the technocratic dev sector I worked in was dodging the questions that mattered to me.

We are Veeraa (@veeraadotorg), a giving platform to amplify the impact of these leaders. And I have chosen a different lane: from being answerable to Govt Secretaries and non-profit CEOs (as inspiring as many of them are) to being accountable to grassroots leaders.

Today, I work with grassroots leaders who take on the hard questions I once avoided. One fights against the age-old practice of caste-based sex-work. Another takes on local corrupt officials. A third stands with tribal women who have been trafficked or assaulted.

After more than two-years of Padyatra through thousands of villages and small towns of Bihar, we formally started the process of party formation to give a better alternative that would end decades of misery and ensure a better future for the children of #Bihar Yesterday, the process began with the first of the eight office bearers’ convention before the official launch of the party on Oct 02nd. Over the next two months 1.5 lakh Jan Suraaj office bearers together with lacs of participating “Sansthapak Sadasyas” of #JanSuraaj will deliberate, and decide on the key priorities of the party; draft and finalize a party constitution, and finally ELECT the leader(s) of the party. As promised, I will not be seeking any post in the party and will continue with my grassroots outreach for the next many months. And it all began with the prayer chosen by the people here in an online survey!

Our youth leader network of 22K+ is federated at the block-level where we currently have 400+ elected Block Coordinators (प्रखंड संयोजक). A few weeks back, we had the first state-level meeting of our Block Coordinators in Patna.

The Block Coordinators form a layer of coordination, mentorship and leadership between the vast network of youth club leaders and the state-level JSF team. They are a vital part of our ecosystem.

The elections are fully run by the padyatris who travel and organise the padyatra. They have been walking shoulder to shoulder with Prashant Kishor for the last 16+ months. These include Santosh, Abhishek NS, Om Prakash, Vishwajeet, Ram, Shams, Abhishek A and many others.
