People's Forum, right from its inception, focused on youth and women and implemented several programs for their betterment. People's Forum managed operations in five districts—Khordha, Kendrapada, Puri, Cuttack, and Jagatsinghpur in Odisha.

The Department of Sports and Youth Services (DSYS) intended to prioritize and scale up youth-led social action and community engagement activities envisaged under the policy by reaching out to youths across Panchayats and ULBs. The ambitious Active Citizenship Programme, under the umbrella scheme “Biju Yuva Sashaktikaran Yojna,” was launched with a focus on promoting life skills, leadership, and active citizenship among youth in educational institutions across the state.
