What We Do
Libraries
Libraries – Rochun: Pay It Forward has been fulfilling its major goal that is to make academic and other kinds of books accessible to students from every corner in Mizoram by establishing a library, enhancement of existing and dysfunctional libraries through donation of large number of books and electronic devices, and by providing offline computer software that consists of all the important academic and non-academic resources. All these ongoing and future projects are made possible through partnership and collaboration with other selfless organizations, interested parties, and individuals.

Scholarship for Asia Pacific Youth Exchange (APYE)
Taking further steps to achieve its mission opening up opportunities for academic and life changing platforms for the youth, Rochun: Pay It Forward offers funding to the selected delegates for Asia Pacific Youth Exchange in partnership with Mizoram Youth Commission (MYC). Rochun specifically chose to work with APYE due to the similar missions and projects both parties stand for. APYE empowers youth to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 by introducing them to its excellent program that comprises of Leadership Training Program, Local Immersion (interaction with local people to identify problems and propose simple yet applicable solutions), and Symposium (cultural show and presentation).
