Baithak
Goonj recently organized the tenth edition of Baithak in Delhi on the 4th and 5th of August 2023.
The event saw participation from 29 bright young leaders working pan India on an array of issues ranging from education to rural livelihood generation and mental health awareness. We aimed to bring together a community of doers building a support system and an inclusive ecosystem of co-learning, unlearning, and collaboration. We hope to successfully organize more such Baithaks in the future, joining more budding organizations with this platform.
