India Volunteer Quests
Volunteer in India: 2-12 weeks

'India will change your life. It is simply something that must be experienced to even begin understanding. Every day is some kind of adventure, be it trying some new food or taking a deeper look inside yourself and how you view yourself and the rest of the world. Without a doubt it is a change that will be with you forever. I recommend it to anyone and everyone who has an itch for a challenge.' Kirsten Wimmer, Short-Term Volunteer in India |
United Planet's Quest Volunteer Abroad program offers you or your group a life-changing opportunity to interact with local communities through customized work experiences, cultural activities, and home stays.

Country and Community Information
India is a large country in South Asia and in terms of population it is the second largest in the world, with an estimated population of 1.12 billion people. The country is made up of 28 states and 7 territories, each with its own unique cultural background and heritage. It seems fair to categorize India as a cultural melting pot; over 100 languages are spoken in the country, India is also significant as it is the birthplace of Hinduism and Buddhism at the same time as being home to people of wide variety of other religious backgrounds. Although modern day India has a strong economy social issues such as poverty and illiteracy are widespread. United Planet is currently working in three distinct locations in India: Goa in the south, Himachal in the north east and Rajasthan in the north west of the country. |
