IYRC’s work focuses on four areas across Kapashera: education, digital literacy, youth leadership and support for migrant workers. For children, IYRC runs remedial education programmes that strengthen foundational learning. The classes support both students who are struggling in school and those who have dropped out and need help returning to formal education. Alongside this, youth groups create spaces where young people can speak openly about relevant issues like gender, sexual and reproductive health, violence, and relationships, among others. These are often subjects that are difficult to discuss at home or within the community. Through street plays, community events, and tools such as Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed, young people engage not only with their peers but also with parents and community members. The aim is to encourage dialogue, challenge harmful norms, and build confidence, critical thinking, and leadership. IYRC also operates a Migrant Resource Centre that helps workers and families access documents such as Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and voter IDs, navigate welfare schemes, pursue wage claims, and engage with government systems. Together, these programmes help migrant families address immediate barriers while building the education, skills and local leadership needed for longer-term change. What sets IYRC apart is its approach to leadership. Suraj has been intentional about ensuring that the organisation does not depend on a single founder. Every three years, leadership is handed over to a new group of young people, often between the ages of 18 and 20. These leaders are responsible for every aspect of the organisation, from finances and programmes to internal policies and strategy. Each generation leaves its own mark. For instance, the last cohort of young women leaders introduced initiatives such as paid menstrual leave and dedicated self-care programmes, practices that had not previously existed within IYRC. New leaders bring new ideas, experiences, and priorities. IYRC is now in its fourth generation of leadership, and some of its current leaders first joined as participants. For Suraj, the most powerful part of this model is seeing how it reshapes relationships and norms within the community. He told Veeraa - “When a 18 or 20 year old young woman is leading in the community, then how is the community reacting? In a migrant worker community, if a 19 year old girl is telling 30+ year old adults how they can get support and how they can help their children; we can see how power switches in that context. It's so beautiful to witness and experience this. I wish you could see them. You'd fall in love with the work they are doing.” Suraj's own role has evolved alongside the organisation. Today, he works primarily as a facilitator, mentor, and partnership builder, supporting younger leaders as they take ownership of the work. His vision is to help create a community where young people learn to organise, speak up, make decisions, and lead for themselves.
