Indira Youth Yatra, which is an initiative by the Indira Group of 
Institutes, Pune. Idea of the Indira Youth Yatra was conceived by Dr. Tarita Shankar, the Chairperson of the Indira Group of Institutes, who has had vast experience of 20 years in the field of education. It was ably supported by Group Director, IGI, Prof. ChetanWakalkar
With an aim to reach out to all strata & possible locations emphasizing on the need & prospects of education, the Yatra was majorly appreciated by students & parents across the country as it emphasized on skill based tutelage.
The sessions were conducted by motivational speakers and industry experts coaxing them to pursue careers and higher education in bigger educational hubs of the country, gain more knowledge and go back to their native land, in a way increasing the standard of living of their hometowns.
Inspirational leaders, shared the struggles leading to their success, propelling the students to work hard and get positively motivated by their stories. The students interacted not only with each other but also with the eminent speakers, clearing their misconceptions and other doubts related to various streams of education.
Eminent directors from the Indira Group like Mr. AdeshGaikwad, Dr. Pandit Mali, Dr. Renu Bhargava, Dr. Anagha Joshi, Dr. Poorna Shankar, MsMadhuriSathe, Mr. Santosh Kumar, Dr. A. A.
