IIM grad Shuvajit Payne gave up a cushy job to work in rural India :- He had a dream job with IBM in London, a swanky car and all the luxuries a 27 year-old could possibly imagine.
"It was a tough decision to quit the job and leave London. But I was convinced that I should not be wasting my time in the corporate world. I always felt I was born to do good, work for a larger cause," says Shuvajit.
Presently, 54 fellows are working on a number of projects at 35 villages in 10 states – Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharastra, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Orissa, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. SBI Fellows can either choose to work on an existing project of a partner NGO or start a new project.
Overwhelmed by the affection of villagers, Shuvajit says,"I really love the person I have become. The warmth and love that you get from the villagers is a prized possession. These four years have been a life changing experience for me. I hope many youngsters come forward and sincerely join this mission to make a big difference in the lives of thousands of villagers. The happiness, satisfaction and sense of achievement, this job gives is irreplaceable, explains Shuvajit as he continues to live his dream of building a better India.
If you wish to join the movement to bring about a change in rural India or would like to contribute in any way, you can write to Shuvajit at shuvajit@youthforindia.org
