Youth is the hope of the nation, we are more concerned about their future. But, what about their ‘today’. Almost all of us think of their future. Nobody is worried about their ‘present’. They are the mighty force. Let us make use of their ‘today’ to make their tomorrow more better for them and us. Half of the population is youth. They are hard working and good looking. They have smartness and brains. They are very good at community service. The fact that sixty per cent of blood donors in this country comprise of youth has proved that they are socially concerned, says Mr. Vinayak.

Mr. R. Prabhakar Rao, I.P.S. (Retd. DGP of A.P.) and Chairperson of Abhyasa School informs that the Youth Assembly is the platform which enables each participants to explore possibilities to make a difference to the world by being an aware and active citizen and confronting the challenges of the present.

They will be sharing their success stories and initiating panel discussion to inspire the participants.

Community service and social entrepreneurship must be inculcated among generation next. They are not less than any best of the best social workers in the country. Youth and community service, none can beat them. They have the power and zeal. They too have responsibility towards their society, social fabric. Let us not undermine their social awareness and concerns. They know about it. But, what lacks is the proper avenues and initiatives. This is one such an event which draws youth attention into community service, says Mr. Vinayak.
