IAYP PROGRAMS

It is all about finding and challenging oneself and are rewarded for participating in a program. This is an award which helps students to work and are committed to being a better citizen of the nation. Safarnaama has the expertise to work with the school in either developing the right program to get an award or just be a logistics partner for the school.
The Program is non-competitive and anyone with perseverance and enterprise, including the disabled, can earn an Award. Young people choose activities that are appropriate to their environment and best suited to their own personal interests and talents.

For adults, the Program provides an opportunity to help by sharing their individual skills and experience with young people.
The definition of leisure has changed over the years. There were times when these activities were perceived as leisure activities only for a chosen few. However, a change in perception has happened over the years and these activities are not just for leisure but for individual betterment as well. The Award Program addressed unplanned leisure time, (so easily misdirected), to be used in exciting ways. It addressed holistic development and growth. It is emphatically not a children’s program.

The Founders were very clear that this is a program for young people. It promised no material gain but added a ‘quality’ that is discernible to all. The 4 Sections, which appear so simple, are carefully thought out: they add value and challenge the body, spirit, and mind. They also reflect adult choice of leisure activity.
