Click to participate above Activities

Youth represent the most dynamic segment of the population and are the future of the Nation. India is one of the youngest nations in the world. About 65% of India’s population is under 35 years of age. The focus of the Government is on youth-led development. The Youth should be “active drivers” and not merely the “passive recipients” of development.

The Government has introduced National Youth Policy, 2014 with the VISION “To empower youth of the country to achieve their full potential, and through them enable India to find its rightful place in the community of nations. The Department of Youth Affairs has been implementing various programmes with the objective of developing the personality and leadership qualities of the youth and inculcating qualities of good citizenship and volunteerism among the youth.

The text of the National Youth Policy-2014 and various programmes/schemes of the Department of Youth Affairs has been made available on the department's website (https://yas.nic.in). Share your views and suggestions on how to make youth a partner in nation building. This group will work and discuss. The assignments can be of both types -online and external. Through discussion people can express their views and give suggestions.
