About us
A volunteer movement for Uttar Pradesh's next decade
Friends of UP is an independent network of young volunteers who believe the state's next ten years should be shaped by the people who live in it.
What we do
We run UP Dialogues, a series of youth conversations held city by city, and Policy Labs, where anyone can send a practical suggestion that gets taken to the people who can act on it.
How we work
Volunteers in every district host the conversations, read the suggestions and keep the network going. Anyone can join; no one is paid to be here.
What we are not
Friends of UP is an independent volunteer initiative. It is not an official government or political party platform.
The team of Friends of UP
The people running the campaign on the ground — one convenor for every district, and a spokesperson for every zone.
75 district convenors appointed
The spokespersons of Friends of UP
The people who speak for the campaign in the media — one for each zone.
