14-Day Rail Yatra To Convey G20 Summit Message Across Nation Starts

A 14-day ‘Rail Yatra’ with 450 participants, including 70 from the G20 nations, began on Saturday from the city, with the goal of disseminating the message of the just concluded G20 Summit in New Delhi.

According to a release, the initiative taken by a local NGO, Jagriti Sewa Sansthan in collaboration with G20 Startup 20, and supported by the State Bank of India and SIDBI, will focus on inclusive enterprise and women-led development with other themes from the Delhi Declaration.

“The 8000-km long yatra will be undertaken across the country and will conclude in Mumbai on November 10”, the announcement reads.

It went on to say, “Through the Yatra, participants will gain exposure to the international startup ecosystem, acquiring insights into inclusive practices and global networking”.

Dinesh Khara, SBI Chairman, stated, “We are happy to collaborate with the Jagriti G20 Startup20 Yatra, as it resonates deeply with SBI’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship in the country and participating in Women-led developmental initiatives”.

“This initiative mirrors our focus on creating a diverse and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem, driving economic growth and social progress”, Khara continued.

According to the statement, the Yatra will promote the five pillars of the Delhi Declaration, which are inclusive growth, green development, technology transformation and digital public infrastructure, women empowerment, and culture as a transformative driver.

“These essential aspects of the Delhi Declaration would be accentuated through seven big events planned as part of the Yatra in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Varanasi, Deoria, Delhi (two events), and Gandhinagar”, the statement continued.

Sivasubramanian Ramann, CMD at SIDBI, stated, “This Yatra is being supported by SIDBI as a Green Partner, which has prioritized digitization and greening the enterprise ecosystem”.

“By supporting this train journey, SIDBI intends to promote Green Culture and Sustainability among youths and startups including G20 participants”, Ramann added.
