VidYuth is an organization which was established in November, 2008 to raise voice against the wrong and so also help individuals to be the change by being a part of the process. The members of Vidyuth rightly state that the sole aim of this association is to provide the masses with a platform to bring social change. Mr. Anshuman Sinha is the founder and initiator on Vidyuth while his colleagues Mr. Somesh Kamra and Mr. Varun Verma assist him in the day-to-day affairs and overall management of the association.
The main objective behind formation of VidYuth was to involve the Youth in the process to initiate change. The activity carried out by VidYuth is patrolling of South Bombay area to locate any untoward activity and report it to the cops. The areas covered include Churchgate, Dhobitalao and Fashion Street among others. Their aim is to fight against a huge range of grievances and troublesome activities which include violence, theft, eve-teasing, ragging and so on and so forth. At the moment there are 40 volunteers with Vidyuth moreover college students who are striving hard to take care of the problematic areas. VidYuth volunteers are seen once a week on the streets of South Bombay on bikes, cars and foot working selflessly to contribute to the society.
Vidyuth has come up with a martial arts firm “Knockout” where free style martial arts and self-defense techniques are taught. Paying attention to the increasing ragging cases VidYuth in support with Mr. Milind Deora has sent a letter to the State Minister to give priority to this issue and is also backed by Mr. Kachru father of the deceased ragging victim. Till now Vidyuth has been successful in the activities undertaken by them.
“We aim to make our organization bigger and wider and create fear in the minds of people engaging in any illegal activity” as told by Mr. Anshuman Sinha. For more details on Vidyuth or to join as a volunteer visit the “VidYuth” group on facebook or visit www.vidyuth.org.
