Anant Katyayni demonstrated the living conditions of underprivileged and nomadic communities through an interactive quiz. These communities lack basic amenities that we take for granted. During his talk, he gave several examples of such communities and people who had no identity. He also shared the story of a woman who wanted to file a complaint against a man abusing her, but the police rejected her plea as she didn't have an Aadhar card. Anant's father fought for her case and won, which inspired him to establish Muktidhara Sansthan - an organization that helps such communities. From the historic Rajasthani village of Viratnagar, Anant Katyayni’s genuine interest is enabling the impoverished youth to become tomorrow's heroic storytellers.
Empowering Rajasthan's impoverished youth is the focus of his social activity. His firm, Kathakari, facilitates storytelling workshops that provide Indian youth with a platform.
Beyond a mere passion, his dedication to social service is a carrying on of his father's legacy. As the General Secretary of Muktidhara Sansthan, an NGO his father founded, he spearheads social transformation and is well-known for his enormous work in Rajasthan economically and socially deprived nomadic groups. Muktidhara aims to achieve gender equality as well as awareness and intelligence.
Under his direction, Mukhtidhara has been putting a lot of effort into helping thousands of these now-established community members acquire the skills they need to find employment in the modern world. He continues his father's enduring legacy of social reform. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
