Habitat Young Visionary Award
The Process
The
competition for the Habitat Young Visionary Award is open to students
all over India who go through three rounds of rigorous participation, at
the end of which the finalists are chosen to compete for the Award.
Participants write an essay on their specific vision, based on a theme
that is provided each year.
A committee of academic experts then evaluates these essays and selects
the best ten from each zone - North & East and South & West.
These semi-finalists are invited to present their vision in greater
detail before a panel of judges comprising of well-known and eminent
persons - journalists, bureaucrats, writers, politicians, policy-makers
and achievers.
The semi-finals for North & East zones will take place in India Habitat
Centre, Delhi and for South & West zones in IIT Madras, Chennai.
Three semi-finalists each from the two Semi-Finals - a total of six -
will be short-listed for the Finals, in which their vision is questioned
in greater detail.

“Built on a foremost principle of thoughtfulness,
competence, evenhandedness and effectiveness, India Habitat
Centre, infused an awareness cum competition for the
undergraduates of India to connect public discourse to their
desires, who were beginning to weave their personal dreams and
what they would do for this world or do to their world.
India Habitat Centre has been engaging with
the youth, who are successor generation and form the largest
component of our population, through the Habitat Young
Visionary Award competition for the last six years starting
2004.
This award carries a fully funded summer
programme at Cambridge University and is awarded to a
young voice that expresses the vision to build a society of
their choice based on a theme that enables and urges the young
minds to search their values and relate them to the future. It
is simultaneously an opportunity to give voice to their hopes
and aspirations and to defend them before a panel of eminent
judges who look for pragmatism, persuasive relevance and the
breathe of the dream in their individual statements
In its seventh year, we hope that the youth
has an opportunity to bond with an experience of value for the
horizon and frontiers, they would extend and reach”
Raj Liberhan, Director India Habitat Centre
