Youth Dialogue Foundation

Youth Dialogue Foundation is located in Ashiana Nagar, specifically in Gautam Colony. Smt. Indu Devi and Sri Birendra Kumar help us keep the place going every day. It is a residential area, so the foundation feels more like a home than a real office. We wanted to create a space where younger people in the neighborhood could actually talk to each other. These days everyone is on their phones, so having a physical place to meet is important. We do not have a huge hall, just a couple of rooms where we sit around. It is pretty informal here and there is no dress code or strict schedule. We just open the doors and see who shows up to talk. Sometimes we talk about jobs, sometimes about local issues, or sometimes just about life in general. We named it Youth Dialogue because that is really all it is, a simple conversation. We also have some old books and magazines lying around for anyone to read. It is not a library, just stuff people donated over time. Smt. Indu Devi often makes sure there is enough water for everyone who visits. It is these small things that make the place feel real to us. We are not a big NGO with a board of directors. We are just people in Gautam Colony who think that talking to the youth is a good way to spend our time.
