Vision and Mission
“India first, it must be!”- Shri Narendra Modi
Vision
The youth are not only leaders of tomorrow, but also partners of today. With India witnessing a radical change in the mindset of people towards governance and policies, and increasing despondency among people due to continuous compromise of citizens’ welfare, there is a rising need to address the grass- root challenges of development and focus on making the country self-reliant through both - individual and cooperative efforts.
We believe that we can alchemize the latent potential of the youth into a global asset through multifarious leadership development activities that go beyond the traditional boundaries of culture, region and religion that give a global outlook while still retaining the essence of the local roots.
Mission
As our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi pointed out, that development alone is the solution to all problems, we have decided to move ahead with this mantra given by him and thus seek solutions to some of the problems manifest in the Indian Society, by opening the stage for our youth to initiate a dialogue on some of these poignant issues. We also seek to bring together ideas from various strata of the society and utilise them in a constructive manner which proves propitious not only to the participants but to the society as a whole.
