VISION ON YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

The issue of youth restiveness in the country has become a cankerworm which has eaten deep into the social fabric of the society. This unwholsesome trend must be curbed in order to have a more organised and disiciplined society.

The vision on Youth Development is to empower the youths to fully realize their potentialities and positively contribute their quota to the overall development of the State in particular and the country in general. This will involve the training of the youths to have self-reliance, mutual cooperation, understanding and respect in all their undertakings. Youth will also be encouraged to explore their potentials in entrepreneurship, for their personal benefit and for the benefit of the society at large.
