Youth is a potent force in the society whose organized voluntary efforts can promote nationally accepted values, consciousness against social evils, development of fitness culture etc.
Such voluntary efforts can thus help in building a healthy society contributing to national development. The activities of youth clubs could be significant in organizing such voluntary efforts. In India, a large number of youth clubs function at the grassroots level but tend to lack direction in their activities due to lack of guidance. For more guidance, you can visit ngo consultancy.
This scheme, therefore, is an attempt at giving a positive direction to the youth club activities. The scheme specifically aims to:
(a) Organize and channelize youth energy in character building activities, develop a ngo that may help poor people or provide proper shelter to old aged groups, apply for fcra to get funding from the foreign source.
(b) Develop amongst youth a sense of pride in nationally accepted values Like democracy, socialism, secularism and help them register their own trust registration and let them help people in need.
(c) Develop consciousness among youth against social evils such as dowry, untouchability, drug addiction, etc.
(d) Enable the youth to develop awareness of environment, culture, own-self,
(e) Provide facilities for developing rural sports at the grass-root level,
(f) Organize activities for the preservation of cultural heritage especially of the rural areas,
(g) Provide the opportunity to the youth for participation in rural community development works through developmental schemes like try, iron etc. So as to enable the youth below-poverty-line to be properly identified by such youth clubs and brought into the developmental programs.
(h) Provide an opportunity for training at the village level leading to self-employment or better employment.
(i) Financial assistance for the promotion of youth activities and training Introduction The ministry of youth affairs has been running several youth welfare schemes of Ngo for the development of youth in the age group of 15-35 years.
