Indian democracy is old. India’s populace isn’t.

    A nation as young as ours needs leaders who truly represent it. There’s a gap of both age and information – closing these rifts is the first step towards enabling accountability and action. It’s high time that our age is considered a serious political identity: one that paves the way for a future that is democratic, inclusive, and sustainable. The YIF Age Tracker is a comprehensive party-based dataset that helps you assess which political parties platform the nation’s youth. India’s flourishing youth is the future – why should our political representatives be stuck in the past? YIF presents the Age Tracker, a comprehensive party-wise dataset that helps you assess which political parties accurately represent the nation’s youth.
