The Changemakers Network

The Changemakers Network (TCN) is a platform to bring like-minded individuals together on a single platform to create a holistic ecosystem of Changemakers across the Country, converging the efforts of changemakers at a single point through a plug-&-play network initiating transformational projects across India.

It is an initiative by Samanway Pratisthan, a Vadodara based Nationalistic Organization led by the dynamic vision of Dr Jigar Inamdar, in association with India Foundation, which is an independent research centre focusing on the issues, challenges and opportunities of the Indian polity under the visionary leadership of Dr Ram Madhav, who is a prominent Indian politician, social leader, author and thinker. He is also our inspiration, mentor, guide & a strong pillar in this journey of creating this network of changemakers.

TCN intends to bring the most important pillars of society, including Government, Individuals, Institutions, NGOs, Corporates, Social Impact Enablers, Public Administration and stakeholders alike, at one place to create a broader impact on society and the nation at large. Established with a mission of “समस्या से समाधान की ओर”, TCN facilitates the exchange of ideas and experiences, leveraging networks and collective strengths, addressing concerns and creating a community of Changemakers beyond geographical boundaries.

Till date, this initiative has been able to create a network of 150+ Changemakers across the Country working on critical issues across domains & geographies. These are those people who have initiated solutions for critical problems instead of just sitting back & criticizing it. These are those “Doers” who are inspiring everybody with their tremendous efforts to create a change. The initiative dates to Yugaantar- A National Level Youth Conference organized in 2012, 2018, 2019 & 2020, creating a network of around 100+ changemakers of the Country and the recently concluded Gujarat Changemakers Meet involving 50+ Changemakers of Gujarat in 2024.

Who is a
Who is a Changemaker??

Changemakers are people ‘WHO INTEND TO BRING A CHANGE’. A Changemaker can be you, me, anyone of us or simply every one of us. What differentiates a Changemaker from the rest is the vision to see things differently and bring a change at their level. Changemakers are Leaders as they lead by example. They create solutions for problems by leveraging existing resources and networks. Instead of merely discussing the issues, they recognize the opportunities for improvement and implement actionable solutions with the existing resources. Being the drivers of positive change, they “Nirakarans” rather than just discussing the “Kaarans”.
