THEME and OBJECTIVES  

 ‘NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD GENERATION IN THE ERA OF GLOBALISATION’  

The creation of sustainable livelihoods has become an important factor in this era of globalization to understand the progress of a nation, especially in developing countries and among disadvantaged populations. Sustaining the progress calls for an explicit consideration of future generations. Youth will inherit many of the environmental, economic and social problems created over the past decades and incorporating their opinions and concerns into policies at all levels is critical for a country’s progress.

‘Education’ and ‘Employment’ are key factors for achieving this. Youth unemployment is an acute problem in many nations. This is primarily owing to the unequal economic growth and formal job growth and secondly, the mismatch in skills between those demanded by employers and those acquired in school. More "enlightened" societies in developing countries are aware of the problems but become frustrated in their individual attempts to solve these problems.

The capacity of young leaders to address the issue of Sustainable Livelihood Generation is of great importance. It is essential to weave the process of judgment, career focus, tolerance and being receptive to ideas into the fabric of learning. These qualities are essential for the holistic development of an individual and also for churning out visionary leaders who are the need of the hour for sustaining the developmental process.

The essentials for generating sustainable livelihoods are ‘adaptability’ and ‘dynamic livelihood capability’. It is thus desired to improve the effectiveness of the non-formal training system in order to mediate the lateral potential of young people into productive social and economic activity, while sensitizing itself to their current livelihood conditions and capabilities.

Self-employment, entrepreneurship, school to work programs and work-based training should be promoted. Partnerships with the private sector need to be strengthened and the use of new ICTs to support youth employment and training must be encouraged. The youth themselves must be empowered to generate the solutions to youth employment and the same should be aimed at all levels to support further replication of such initiatives from the grassroots to the global level.

Efforts for Sustainable Livelihood Generation at the citizen's level across the globe are essential especially in the developing countries for continued growth and progress along with the protection against exploitation of irreplaceable global resources. Developing countries, mired in internal political, social and economical struggles, can't afford to add Livelihood Generation to their problems, especially because of a lack of access to relevant information and support mechanisms.

The Objectives of Conference are as follows:

(1) Understand and compare the Efforts and Youth Perspective of Developing and Developed Countries in Sustainable Livelihood Generation.

(2) Draw tangible/ non-tangible Implementation Plans and Conclusions in regard to the same. (3) Exchange of ideas and sharing of knowledge in regard to various cultural, technical,

academic, social frameworks of the countries and also regarding their efforts towards Sustainable Livelihood Generation which might help in innovation and implementation of various efforts.

(4) Introduce ‘Enterprise India’ and vibrant culture of ‘Incredible India’ to the participating delegates of HCAP.

ADVANTAGE ‘IIT DELHI’ 

IIT Delhi as a partner institution in HCAP offers many advantages and values add to the program. Some of them have been enlisted to illustrate the reasons which qualify IIT Delhi as a must-have partner school in HCAP:

• BRAND IIT DELHI: 

IITs have justly been ranked as the top educational institutions in India and Asia.IIT Delhi has over the years established a brand of its own in the league of IITs. IIT Delhi is arguably amongst the most prestigious and exceptional Institutions of learning. The amount of value adds that a program such as HCAP would derive out of its association with IIT Delhi is tremendous within India and significant at a global platform. HCAP stands to gain enormously on brand value and popularity by being associated with IIT Delhi in India. Also, the amount of visibility that the program would garner within India by associating with IIT Delhi is unparalleled.

• ESTABLISHED PLATFORM FOR STUDENTS INTERACTION: 

IIT Delhi has over the years established itself as an ideal platform for exchanging of Ideas and Views amongst students not only from IIT Delhi but also from various other colleges in Northern India. Some of the Students Fests organized by and at IIT Delhi see large volumes of Students turning up and participating in a plethora of events making it an ideal Institution to associate with for a program such as HCAP to derive maximum mileage out of the effort. Association with IIT Delhi also promises an opportunity to reach out to a larger section of student fraternity within the country than would be possible with any other institution in this region. The high volume of Student- student interaction that would be possible at IIT Delhi is tremendous.

• PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OF HOLDING SUCH LARGE SCALE EVENTS: 

Success of any program being organized at a scale as is HCAP rests largely on the smooth conduct of the entire event and also on ability to sensitize the entire events to the needs and demands of the target community i.e. Students. The student body at IIT Delhi is largely experienced in this domain. The annual Cultural festival of IIT Delhi, Rendezvous is arguably amongst the best Cultural Festivals in the country being totally organized by Students. The large volumes of participation and audiences (a total of about 100,000 students were a part of it in Rendezvous’06) it draws illustrates the popularity and successful conduct of such an event.

The annual Technical Festival of IIT Delhi, Tryst is the best Technical Festival in Northern India and among the Top in the Country. Attracting over 20,000 students from over 150 colleges, Tryst becomes the gathering place of the top technical brains of the nation. Tryst again is a complete Students led event.

In addition to these two major annual events, Students at IIT Delhi also organize annual Sports Festival, Creative Writing Festival, Annual Showcase Festival of SPICMACAY ‘VIRASAT’ to name a few. They are all completely planned and managed by students at IIT Delhi.

There are also regular conferences and seminars which are organized at regional , National and International level involving high level delegations from various governments and industry which also see significant Student involvement at various levels of organization of such events.

The student fraternity at IIT Delhi prides itself in its vast experience of successfully organizing events of such a scale and also being able to innovatively sensitize such events to the needs of the Students on a regular basis. The above reasons are responsible for the tremendous amount of popularity that the student’s fests at IIT Delhi enjoy in student fraternity as a whole and also precisely why a program such a HCAP would gain immensely by being associated with IIT Delhi.

Fatehpur Sikri is a city in Agra district. It was the political capital of India's Mughal Empire under Akbar's reign, from 1571 until 1585, when it was abandoned, ostensibly due to lack of water. Fatehpur Sikri is a World Heritage Site. It is regarded as Emperor Akbar's crowning

architectural legacy. Indeed, its numerous palaces, halls, and masjids satisfy his creative and aesthetic impulses, typical of Mughals.

 Taj Mahal is considered as epitome of Love and also the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements of Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and

was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. More recently, it was included in the list of the New Seven wonders of the world.

life while blending with modern times. There is rich and varied folk culture which is both fascinating and mesmerizing.

DAY 8:  

(1) Delhi Darshan: A Delhi Visit

Delhi is the capital of India located on the banks of the River Yamuna, Delhi has the political status of a federally-administered union territory known as the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Delhi is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. Having been the capital of several empires in ancient India, Delhi was a major city in the old trade routes from northwest India to the Gangetic Plains. Many

ancient monuments, archaeological sites and remains of national importance have been erected in its history. The Mughals built a section of the city that served as the capital of Mughal Empire for a long period. During the British Raj, New Delhi was built as an administrative quarter of the city. As the seat of the Government of India, New Delhi houses important offices of the federal government, including the Parliament of India. Delhi has grown up to be a cosmopolitan city owing to the immigration of people from across the country. The rapid development and urbanization of New Delhi and surrounding areas coupled with the high average income of the populace has largely eclipsed socio-cultural traits of the entire India. The trip of Delhi would include places like Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Chandi Chowk, Parliament House , Rashtrapati Bhavan (This includes possible meeting with President of India and visit to Mughal Gardens) amongst other places of interest.

(2) Shopping :

Be it an Adventure or a Dialogue, to truly experience and feel the fragrance of India, shopping for Indian Souvenirs is a must to cherish your visit and stay in our beautiful Country. We would be taking you to the best places where you get great bargains and beautiful souvenirs so that you won’t be missing out on carrying memories back with you.

(3) Chill Out: It is fusion that stands to define Modern India. With the vibrant mix of Eastern and Western Tradition, it is apt to call India the home to Modern Culture. This would give the apt opportunities to students and delegates from HCAP to unwind on the dance floor.

DAY 9:  

(1) Lunch : A lunch hosted with participation from eminent personalities and celebrities from various walks of life along with students to give the participants the opportunities to understand and experience the thinking of Indian stakeholders.
