Scaling Youth-Led Climate Action & Skill Development in Nanded
Turning Climate Awareness into Climate Action:
Do simple tech tools really create change on the ground?
Yes — and we’re seeing it firsthand in Nanded.
Chatbots built on Glific Portfolios powered by Samaaja (Frappe). Local mentors. Consistent behavior nudges.
Put them together — and something powerful happens:
• Citizens engage more and build skills
• Local governance responds faster.
• Small actions lead to big shifts.
This is what Tech4Good looks like: not flashy, but deeply rooted and scalable.
We captured our learnings in this one-pager below — insights from 2,500+ hours of youth-led action in a timespan of less than 6 months.
What We Achieved in Nanded:
- 572 participants onboarded (183 teachers, 389 students) via a WhatsApp chatbot
- 2,413 climate & civic actions across waste, water, air, sanitation, and energy
- 2,538+ hours of hands-on problem-solving, building essential skills — critical thinking, leadership, and digital literacy
- Mentorship-led model — teachers trained students to tackle local environmental challenges independently
Why This Matters for Climate Funders & Partners:
For funders prioritizing climate action, youth skill development, and agency activation — like Rainmatter — Nanded’s success shows:
- Scalable, low-cost youth-led climate action
- Mentorship-driven model that sustains engagement, not one-time interventions
- Climate career readiness — nurturing skills for green jobs, civic leadership, and problem-solving in any field
Nanded CCL isn’t just a project — it’s a blueprint for youth-led climate action at scale.
