I am Ayush. I am a photographer and a designer I am into my final year of graduation. I joined Narmada Prerna Yatra 2018 as a photographer with no idea that I was about to have a life-changing experience. Meeting role models and the changemakers in the yatra, with all those insightful conversations with Nitin Sir, was an eye-opener. The realization of the importance of human values and the bond with nature hit me hard. Ever since I have returned from the yatra I have been trying to work for a social cause in my own way. Inspired by the Yatra, I have begun with my start-up "The Rêver Hub" which translates to a hub of dreams. As a start-up, we are looking forward to contributing to the artist community by catering to the needs of young and independent artists in the industry. The building blocks of this start-up draw inspiration from the values that I learned during the yatra, and it would never have been possible without the inspiration I got from it.

I am in an IT Field and was working for Heath Sector for building one mobile application called 'Blood Bank App' to help people find blood donors live data immediately. It was just an idea and little startup, but during the Yatra we discuss about this app and i got many suggestions and New Ideas from Team. This Yatra helps me to achieve my dreams and all team members encourage me to make this app. I have started working on the suggestions I have got during the yatra and implement the mobile app in 1 month of time. Today i am very happy that we built an app with all the features and it will definitely help people to find blood donor, Blood Bank, Blood On call Service(104). I have learned lots of values like hard work, honesty, team building from talented yatris across India during this yatra. Narmada Prerna Yatra was really life learning experience for me.

I have participated in Narmada Prerna Yatra in 2016 during my graduation from Banasthali University. Narmada Prerna Yatra helped me to unleash my spirit about the social sector. It took me to a journey where i was able to see what it takes to be in social sector and what are actually the grassroots realities which you aren't able to look towards until you have experienced it. And now 2 years down the lane , I am a Gandhi fellow where Serve happiness foundation has played a crucial part for my learning.
