Youth Delegate (Alankrita Dayal), GFMD's Technologies Roundtable

For the first time ever in the history of the global GFMD summit, UC Berkeley Alumni Alankrita Dayal, who is the Executive Director of Program yoUr Future (PUF) and GFMD's Youth Delegate, has been invited as a Speaker to lead the Leveraging New Technologies Roundtable and present the youth perspective, spanning over 55 countries, on how nations can best leverage new technologies to empower their underrepresented, at-risk populations.

At age 17, Alankrita Dayal founded PUF which now helps over 20,000 students acquire both the technical and the non-technical skills necessary for their retention and success in STEM careers. Her organization has been congratulated by the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth as a scalable model that can be replicated into other regions around the world, too, to benefit an even wider population.

The interventions that Alankrita has delivered at the United Nations Technologies Roundtable have been described as powerful and visionary and are equipping civic society stakeholders, government officials, and business executives with data-driven, equity-focussed solutions, programs, and actionable policies that can best be adopted and scaled to benefit their communities at large.
