The Tracking Indian Youth Workers Media Fellowship is dedicated to documenting the lives, aspirations, and experiences of young workers in India. As we bring you the next story in this series, we are also excited to introduce the fellow behind it- Vansika Jain. Learn about Vaishnavi in her own words-
“I am an Economics graduate deeply passionate about exploring the stories that shape India’s socio-economic fabric. My experiences in grassroots policymaking and research have fueled my commitment to addressing critical issues like youth employment and development. I believe in the power of storytelling to inspire change and foster meaningful conversations about governance, economics, and society.
“In a dynamic democracy like India, journalism isn’t just about reporting—it’s about amplifying voices and sparking action for a better tomorrow.””
For her first profile, Vansika brings you the story of Dolly Kumari, a 16-year old from Bihar.
