Every year, there is great sense of enthusiasm among countrymen at the brink of memorable yatra. Youth from India as well as from other nations rushes entries to be a part of living a fine experience. This year the selection panel jury has selected 400 passengers. All the selected people will meet the great achievers at the end of the day; the people who succeeded in their social and business enterprises. A common purpose of the yatra is to communicate and inculcate ‘idea of social change and entrepreneurial energy' among youths. Today's youth is so impressed with market glamour and flamboyant people that he minutely misses the ‘real issues and charmers'. It is said they have not reached decision-level to pick up ideal ‘role models'. With a chance to witness ‘success stories' capable of ‘revival and transformation'. It is most likely expected such experience will change the lives of passengers.

The eighteen day and 800km tour will depart from Mumbai on December 24 and ends back in Mumbai on January 11, 2010. Passengers will travel Thiruvananthapuram, Kanyakumari, Madurai, Bengalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar, Jamshedpur, Deoria, Delhi, Mithapur and Tilonia.
