Hum Badlenge Apna Bharat, an ADR Youth Outreach Programme
To motivate, inform and involve youth in the political & electoral reforms processes, ADR initiated a Youth Outreach programme called Hum Badlenge Apna Bharat (HBAB) in FY 2016-17. The programme aims to educate Indian youths of the challenges faced by Indian Democracy today. With the support of our State Coordinators, we are committed to taking this programme to the maximum number of youths across the country.
