Habitat Young Visionary Award

Winners so far...

Second Winner - Internships in NGO

Experiences of First and Second Winners

We are not receiving any entries for the Habitat Young Visionary Award this year as we are reviewing the pros and cons of continuing the Award being limited to only the Summer Programme.
 

India Habitat Centre has been engaging with the youth, who are the successor generation and form the largest component of our population, through the Habitat Young Visionary Award competition for the last seven years starting 2004.
 

Built on the principles of thoughtfulness, competence, even handedness and effectiveness, India Habitat Centre initiated an awareness based competition for the undergraduates of India to connect public discourse to their desires, to weave their dreams into action-based models on what they would want to do for this world or do to their own world.

The Habitat Young Visionary Award carried a fully funded summer programme at Cambridge University and was awarded to a young voice that expresses the vision to build a society of his/her choice based on a theme that enables and urges the young minds to search their values and relate them to the future. It was 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 breadth of the dream in their individual statements.
