A youth group in Mumbai invokes legacy of Gandhi-Vinoba Monday, September 11, 2023, https://www.freepressjournal.in/angels-of-mumbai/a-youth-group-in-mumbai-invokes-legacy-of-gandhi-vinoba “At the Blue Ribbon Movement, we believe in long term, self-initiated change. We believe in invoking deep democracy through different initiatives that start with a three-hour ‘act-a-thon’ where youth learn the tools of accountability within the civic system, then a three-month challenge, followed by a three-year fellowship. This helps them build a lifelong connection with the Blue Ribbon Movement,” Abhishek Thakore said
Leading up to the upcoming Municipal elections in Mumbai, they are encouraging involvement from a larger public through interactive games, civic sessions, conversations with prominent citizens, local audits and a Citizen Manifesto.
Rajni Bakshi said of BRM "At a time when social and political lives are becoming increasingly polarised, they are making an attempt to listen to everyone, and are trying to find ways to go beyond the polarisation,” .
