Youth has been defined as the supreme strength of society. Youth is the token of a dream where the theme is novelty and creativity. Without youth freedom, struggle or demonstration or whatever we say against evils on earth are a thoroughly unimaginable phenomenon. Today youths are facing manifold challenges in every sphere of their lives while we chalked out various programmes to celebrate the 'International Youth Day'. The day is being observed in the country since the year 2000 following the resolution of the UN General Assembly in 1999. Whenever youths remain jobless, a nation will face severe problems such as poverty, the biggest curse for a country. Therefore, this year's theme of this day is "Tackling poverty together" At least 30 million young men are now unemployed in the country.And there are many other problems that the youths are facing. According to World Youth report, 10 million young people are currently living with HIV/AIDS, the biggest threat to humanity. Drug addiction is another challenge today. For the scantiness of care, love and affection many youngsters become addicted. Besides , some of them get involved in many social crimes. Therefore, may we promise from this day to recognise the needs of youths and fulfil them in search of a peaceful world.
