Reasons why the social sector is gaining momentum as a career choice among youth in India

By
Mr Sumit Tayal, COO, Give

Select Reasons why the social sector is gaining momentum as a career choice among youth in India Reasons why the social sector is gaining momentum as a career choice among youth in India
The social sector offers diverse and rewarding career options for youth, giving them a platform to make a positive contribution to society. India has witnessed tremendous transformation from the corporate sector to the social sector in recent years, creating a variety of unique and appealing professional opportunities for people from all walks of life. Whether you’re a fresh graduate or young professional with limited years of experience in any stream, the social sector provides a significantly enriching experience. Embracing a career opportunity in the social sector not only offers a pathway to personal fulfilment but also enables individuals to make a tangible difference in the lives of many others and society at large.
Here are 5 reasons why the social sector is fast gaining popularity among the youth in the country and beyond:

1. Diverse opportunities within social sector

The social sector in India has a diverse range of career opportunities to suit the interests, skills, and aspirations of today’s youth. From engineers, to doctors, singers, teachers, or graduates from multiple streams, it has something for everyone. From NGOs to Corporate Foundations, social enterprises to advocacy groups, there are opportunities for youth to find what aligns with their interests and goals.
Not to forget the myriad ways one can contribute to people’s lives by picking one of the core areas such as health, food security, environmental protection, education, water conservation, women’s empowerment, traditional crafts, livelihood generation and more.

2. Fulfilment Beyond Financial Rewards

While financial benefits in the social sector may not always match those in the private sector, many individuals find deep satisfaction in the impact of their work at large. Social entrepreneurship, community mobilisation, and non-profit management are portfolios that allow the youth to align their passion and skills towards addressing issues that remain close to their heart.

3. Driving Positive Change at Grassroots Levels

One of the most compelling aspects of a career opportunity in the social sector is the opportunity to drive change at grassroots levels. By engaging in community mobilisation and empowerment, the youth can amplify the voices of marginalised groups and foster inclusive development in the long run.

4. Innovation and Creativity in Problem-Solving

The social sector thrives on innovation and creativity, offering a fertile ground for young minds to explore novel solutions to complex societal challenges. From building poly ponds for water conservation in Assam, to using environmental waste to create sustainable livelihood for women in Uttarakhand, the sector encourages out-of-the-box thinking and entrepreneurial spirit. A host of examples of such innovations enrich our ecosystem. These innovations not only pave the way for entrepreneurial journeys, but also aim to address specific challenges that have plagued the regions for years.

5. Public Policy and Advocacy:

Through an understanding of the rural landscape, its natives and the challenges faced by communities, the youth can actively participate in driving communities, engaging local government over policy and advocacy work to influence decision-making processes at local, state, and national levels. By raising awareness about critical issues, lobbying for policy changes, and collaborating with policymakers, the youth can ensure that the social sector receives the attention and support it deserves.
Choosing a career in the social sector allows youth to build a legacy of impact and empowerment. The transformative power of their work extends far beyond individual achievements, shaping a more inclusive and progressive future for generations to come. It not only offers youth a platform to pursue their professional aspirations but also contributes meaningfully to society. By embracing the challenges and opportunities presented by this sector, professionals and fresh graduates can embark on a journey of purpose, impact, and personal growth that transcends conventional career trajectories.

Finolex Industries Limited, India’s leading manufacturer of PVC pipes and fittings, proudly announced its continued participation in the Pandharpur Wari Yatra for 2024, extending its support to this significant cultural and spiritual event in Maharashtra for more than 25 years.
The Pandharpur Wari, an 800-year-old tradition, saw millions of devotees undertake a 21-day pilgrimage on foot to the Vithoba temple in Pandharpur. As part of its ongoing commitment to this revered event, Finolex planned a comprehensive support program for the 2024 Wari Yatra. Finolex provided essential items to the Warkaris to enhance the comfort of pilgrims during their spiritual journey. These included large utility bags for carrying personal belongings, ponchos to protect from unpredictable weather, and Hari Path booklets to aid in their devotional practices. Recognizing the crucial role of law enforcement in managing this massive gathering, the company also distributed raincoats to police officers overseeing the event.
Healthcare was a priority during such a large-scale pilgrimage. To address this, Finolex’s CSR arm, Mukul Madhav Foundation (MMF), set up multiple medical camps at key locations along the Yatra route. These camps provided necessary medical assistance, ensuring the well-being of Warkaris throughout their journey.
Mr. Pradeep Shastry Vedula, President Sales & Marketing, at Finolex Industries Ltd., stated, “Our participation in the Pandharpur Wari is a testament to Finolex’s deep connection with Maharashtra’s agricultural community. For more than 25 years, we have been honored to support this 800-year-old tradition that brings millions together in a spirit of devotion and unity. This event allows us to engage in ‘Warkari Seva,’ which for us is equivalent to social work and paying homage to Lord Vitthal. This event is a unique opportunity for us to participate in a tradition that unifies people across all social strata. Our involvement goes beyond mere visibility; it’s about actively contributing to a cultural phenomenon that has brought communities together for centuries. As a company deeply rooted in Maharashtra’s soil, we see our involvement in the Wari as a continuation of our commitment to the communities we serve.”
This initiative reflected Finolex’s commitment to upholding traditions while supporting the communities it serves. As a company deeply rooted in Maharashtra and a leader in the agricultural sector, Finolex saw the Wari Yatra as an opportunity to reinforce its customer bond and contribute meaningfully to this significant cultural event.

CSR collaboration for the City-Farmer Partnership project in Chikkaballapur, Karnataka
Bangalore, India: Godrej Properties Limited, India’s leading real estate developer, partnered with the Chikkaballapur City Municipal Council (CMC) and the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) for the City-Farmer Partnership project in Chikkaballapur, Karnataka to address the city’s waste management challenges and to promote scientific management of solid waste.
Focused on converting organic wet waste into valuable compost for farmers, approximately 759 tonnes of legacy waste was semi-processed into organic compost and supplied to 109 farmers across 17 villages of Chikkaballapur. The compost, processed from 1,000 cubic meters of waste, was provided at no cost to encourage the adoption of organic farming practices. Additionally, more than 569 tonnes of segregated wet waste has been processed through collaboration with 81 farmers.
A key aspect of this initiative and Godrej Properties’ focus is fostering a symbiotic relationship between urban and rural communities. To enhance and educate the farmer communities and stakeholders on the benefits of sustainable waste management practices, IIHS conducted multiple training sessions for more than 100 farmers on converting municipal waste into organic compost. Additionally, 45 CMC staff members were trained on key aspects of waste management. The training focused on the importance of segregated waste collection and transportation for the success of the city-farmer partnership project.
A series of ward-level and feedback meetings have been conducted as part of the City-Farmer Partnership for the Solid Waste Management (SWM) project to promote waste segregation at source. These meetings have been attended by CMC officials, the IIHS project team, Anganwadi workers, volunteers engaged in monitoring door-to-door collection of waste, and about 50 residents from each ward. To drive home the messaging and create awareness at the ground level, six street plays and a road show traversed key streets in Chikkaballapur, engaging citizens and commercial establishments with messages about the benefits of waste separation.
Mr. Rohit Mohan, Chief Design and Sustainability Officer, Godrej Properties Ltd., said “We recognize the substantial challenges posed for urban waste management, including growing volume of urban waste and improper waste segregation. Engaging communities through initiatives such as training farmers to convert municipal wet waste into organic compost is one of our important projects catering to our long-term environmental goals. This collaboration with Chikkaballapur farmers highlights our dedication to positively collaborate with multiple communities and contributing towards solid waste management across Urban local bodies. By enabling local communities to turn urban solid waste into valuable resources, we seek to drive enduring environmental improvements and support sustainable farming practices. As environmentally conscious developers, we remain committed to promoting sustainable waste management practices through public-private partnerships and engagement with local communities.”
Godrej Properties has been focusing on driving awareness and capacity building for the need for sustainable waste management across urban and rural communities in addition to sustainable waste management across all construction sites. In FY24 Godrej Properties successfully diverted more than 43,000 tonnes of waste from landfills achieving Net Zero Waste to landfill status.
