"The next phase of growth will have significant contribution from the hitherto neglected eastern region of India. East India represents almost 1/3 of Indian states and has a complex set of challenges. Y-East aims to stitch all the actors together for inclusive growth."
Ajay Mittal, Global Shaper / Co-Founder, Kolkata Clean Air / Climate Ambassador / Strategic Advisor, Y-East
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.'—Margaret Mead. That in short is what Y-East envisages to be. Y-East believes in action, starting from the roots. Network and build a platform of sharing and work among individuals, communities and companies which can make Eastern India beautiful again for tomorrow. Be it poverty alleviation, environmental protection, citizen engagement or bringing together happiness to the face of an empowered citizen, Y-East cares."
Dheeman Ghosh, Sustainability Consultant, Y-East
"Our future generations should enjoy living in this world in a manner as we do; if not more. Ideas, policies and actions are to be formulated at national, community and individual levels for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This also requires effective coordination between all the actors who contribute to this endeavour. There was a void in this area, at least in Eastern India. Y-East is expected to fill the void and provide leadership in promoting “inclusive” SDGs by creating a platform of synergistic interaction between the “sustainability actors” on one hand and spearheading research, analysis and actions in bringing in education sector as an important instrument in this ambitious mission of creating a better world for all."
Hiren Sarkar, Senior Economist & Director, NCAER / Economic Affairs Officer, UNESCAP / Senior Advisor, Y-East
