Manthan was started as an effort  to make people realize the immense power each one of us possesses,the power to raise our voices against injustice,to go against the conventions which weigh us down,to fuel the process of change.

The beginning of Manthan was marked with ‘Manthan Mahotsav’ which was organised in 17 prominent locationS of  Delhi where more than 35 teams performed at the same time with the varying questions of similar vigour.

Manthan’s team believes that to see the change you need to be the change and that is one of the reasons behind this year’s theme which is LIES WITHIN.

With ‘Lies Within’ as their theme,these students want to deliver the message that in current scenario when change is very much needed,the solution,whether it is good or bad,lies within us and we need to bring about change by getting solution from our within ourselves.This young and diligent bunch is not only making an effort to bring the change in their nation but all over the world.
