YouTube & TikTok Star Summit 2019

Empowering Rural Youth & Promoting Social Responsibility

In 2019, the rise of short-form video and YouTube created a massive wave of interest among students and youth. However, without proper guidance, many young minds in rural areas were dropping out of studies or getting trapped in social media misuses and cyber frauds.

Seeing this, Ashish Kumawat conceptualized and organized the summit at K7 Hotel, Boraj (a prominent municipal town located 35 km from Jaipur). The vision was dual:

• Cyber Safety & Scam Awareness: Educating rural youth on how to protect their identities and avoid online financial frauds and account hijacking.
• Educational & Career Mentorship: Guiding students to maintain studies while constructively leveraging social platforms, rather than getting distracted.
• Motivating Grassroots Talents: Encouraging micro-creators with healthy organic reach by presenting them awards and trophies on stage.

To ensure a holistic impact on the community, the summit involved local leaders, educational mentors, and creative professionals. The event was honored by the chief guest, former Boraj Sarpanch Shri Prem Chand Taylor, who guided local students. Educational mentor Rahul Ratiwal (Founder of CCC Phulera, now in Indian Railways) advised youth on study discipline, and Bollywood actor/anchor Yashish Musafir shared insights on building self-belief and public speaking.
