It is needed in the interest of the mass residing in the slums to be given equal rights and more importantly, the knowledge of these rights. Youth United carries out a project in different slum areas of India under the name of Youth United Mass Education and Awareness Mission, YUMEAM, to make people aware of their rights and the benefits they can get from the government.



Youth United aims to work for the weakest section of the society, the underprivileged population through its National Project , YOUTH UNITED MASS EDUCATION AND AWARENESS MISSION (YUMEAM), which shall be instigated in different parts of India in a gruadated manner with all its 3 phases:
i) Phase I- Awareness Campaigns and Survey:- In this phase a comprehensive survey on various criteria/issues/problems which include but not limited to health issues, legal issues, other physical, psychological and Socio-economic issues, shall be conducted within the notified area having maximum number of beneficiaries. This survey shall be complemented with spreading up of awareness within this section of Society through a series of Awareness camps contemplating similar issues.
ii) Phase II- Resolution Camps:- After having noticed and contemplated the issues and recommendations reflected through Final report of Phase-I, various medical, legal and other resolution camps shall be conducted within this notified area, to provide the population residing in this area solutions to their problem on the basis of First Time Resolution (FTR).
iii) Phase III- Establishment of Education Centers:- After the completion of phase I & II, Youth United shall exactly be in a position to figure out the kind of requirements that would still be required to meet all the
objectives of this project. For this purpose, Youth United shall establish various education/computer/vocational centers primarily for women/girls, so that this section of population can be made self dependent.

1) a number of volunteers should be recruited fr dis project.
2) watever work has been done should be documented in a single document.
3) finally the support of Government shall be sought with all d org documents, profile and the documents prepared in pt 2)
4) take a lot of people's opinion.
5) keep reviewing all d plan
6) implementation on a comprehensive scale.

guyz
this is to inform, phase II has been extended, with the signing of MOU with the chd admn, for the survey of dropouts from the school, and providing FTRs on similar issues.
Also a eye check up camp has also been proposed by the eye dept of Govt Hospital sec 16, to be organized by the Youth United. Preparations are in full swing, and we may soon announce the dates.

Hi everyone
I think that such a huge product not only requires a huge manpower(and I mean numbers of the order of 1000s) but also resources. I believe that this project should not be run solely by Youth United but by the entire nation. We need every last bit of love for humanity that the people of this country have and we need every last bit of energy that all of us can devote to this more than humane cause. The least we can do is to establish one community center in each slum of the country where 24-hour medical, legal, educational facilities et al are provided.
Although this seems very big but if we don't think big we wont be doing any good to anyone. Comprehensive effort along with gaining perspective is what can make this a success. Like it is believed in Youth United.. we are as capable as we believe we are...

hey evry1...
this was my first engagement in YU's activities. I've already been part of one such survey back in my home town.
But what attracted me to this event was the resolution phase. The action plan was in proper order. I worked for 4 days in colony no.5 and made a memorable bond with the locals there and still receive calls from them. One amusing incident being a man from alwar rajasthan phoned me to come down 2 his place and look into his issues and asked my help. He got my no. from a guy dwelling in col no.5. I guess we worked well. Though a lots has still been left to achieve in the process to uplift the standard of living,health care and education but we have the initiative and surely will achieve what we resolved

And more importantly we need more hands and heads to join in the cause.Come one Come all.....!!

this noble cause should be given substantial support.. it should be started in every Indian city so that the real objective of the project is accomplished.

it feels great to be part of ths education and awareness camp....if u want to help our country,first option is to make all d people f country literate..nd subsequently all d problems of a country will sort out....so join hands and cme forward to make india NO 1.....

hi , i completely agree with all what has been said by everyone above. YUMEAM is a great initiative that has been taken by youth united. However in order to really bring about substantial development in these sections of the society what is needed is mass awareness and contribution by all . i hereby request all of you to please come forth and volunteer for this noble cause !!! together we can and we will make this world a better place ...

Hello friends

I congratulate each and everyone for the successful phase I of YUMEAM. With same zeal and passion, we are working hard on Phase II & III with education surveys and conducting eye camps in the slum areas as noted by the Chd Admin. We constantly are putting our best efforts such that all the projects finish on time and with superior results.

Still, there is a long way to go but with the help and cooperation of all the YUites, I believe we wil be successful in the upcoming projects as well..

Hail YUites...
