About the Competition

The YLAC Social Action Incubator is a national-level competition that invites high school students to propose creative solutions to urgent social problems in their schools or communities. The competition offers students the chance to secure funding and mentorship to implement their innovative ideas.

The Incubator has been designed to encourage students to become more familiar with social realities with the aim of cultivating empathy and inspiring students to take proactive action to address existing inequalities. It aims to bolster ecosystems that nurture and support youth-led initiatives, driven by passionate changemakers.

Themes

The Incubator extends an invitation to student teams to submit their project ideas, focusing on the following central themes:

• Gender Equality.
• Economic Equality.
• Diversity and Inclusion.

Each team must also have a teacher in charge. Each team must also assign a team leader and a deputy team leader who will, along with the teacher in charge, remain the primary point of contact.

Prizes

The best ideas stand to win funding of INR 2,00,000 (winner), INR 1,00,000 (1st runner-up), and INR 50,000 (2nd runner-up).
