You are next

The next great leader could be you.

Every leader on this page once stood exactly where you stand today: an ordinary citizen with a fire to serve. Gandhi was a young lawyer. Kalam was a newspaper boy. Your village, your ward and your constituency are waiting for someone who cares. Take the first step today, because India's story isn't finished, and the next chapter needs you.
