Good stories share a slice of someone’s “life as lived,” rather than one-sided stories of oppression and victimhood or transformation after an NGO’s intervention. Through this collection of stories, we hope to offer humane accounts of the lives of three girls*–Manju, Raheen and Alia who had joined our Girls’ Voice Initiative Program supported by Rise Up and Cummins India Foundation.

The Healthy Cities Wealthy Cities team has been collaborating with Professor Suresh, an economist from IIM-Bangalore, to explore the social capital of small and micro-entrepreneurs in Mumbai. The questions for this collaboration were prepared by the team and the Professor jointly. The team conducted fifty life story interviews of various entrepreneurs, keeping the balance of areas of businesses (leather, food, textile etc), religion, location and language. After reading the interviews, Professor Suresh sent the following feedback to the team:
“Thank you very much, Nilesh, Bali and Nizam. I will try to visit Mumbai in Oct to meet all of you and thank you personally for these insightful interviews that are so sensitively and respectfully done.”

Why does violence happen? Whom does it happen against? How does it impact someone? These were some of the questions we posed to engage with boys. During the discussion, boys realised how men and boys act aggressively and violently against women and girls. They started thinking about what they can do to change their own behaviour and the behaviour of men and boys they know.
Kiran Kakade, PUKAR’s ex-youth fellow participated in ‘Fools’ Forum 13′ organised by Blue Ribbon Movement. Topic of the Forum was ‘How do we make Democrazy come alive?’ She participated with other youth leaders. They shared their insights and challenges with respect to the topic.

Another book chapter to its credit, after the UNESCO publication in 2015.
“Youth & India’s Sustainable Development Goals” a book curated and edited by Professor Saigita Chitturu from Tata Institute of Social Sciences is recently published by Vitatsa Press ( New Delhi).

Their expertise in the fields Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR), gender and youth engagement through the Youth Fellowship Program makes that chapter an energising and rich reading.
PUKAR wishes to convey its heartfelt gratitude to Professor Saigita Chitturu and Centre for Lifelong Learning, TISS for giving PUKAR this wonderful opportunity.
