NOWSHERA: The Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) has mobilised one crore youth to fulfil Modi’s vision of ‘New India’ following the recent call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to promote out-of-the-box thinking among the youth to his vision of a new India. The NYKS – the India’s largest youth organisation has launched a massive skill development, social and financial inclusion and development programme for the youth of the country involving more than one crore youth in creating awareness and facilitating digital transitions.
The NYKS, with the help of National Remote Sensing Centre under ISRO, has also developed a Mobile App for youth workers in the country through which the NYKS will promote out-of-the-box thinking among the youth to fulfill the Prime Minister’s vision of a new India, said Major General (Retd) Dilawar Singh.
Director General NYKS said that Mobile App is part of the BHUVAN Geo Portal.
The youth clubs can upload their data in the portal with help of Mobile App including their profile, programmes / activities, photographs and Village Profile, Singh said.
NYKS is following his footprints. For the first time, NYKS launched a major initiative for the youth from rural villages across India for patriotism and nation building. It is matter of great interest that this year the National Award was won by a Muslim girl from JK for the programme on patriotism and nation building”, said DG, NYKS.
NYKS is now also spreading out it wings into urban areas where it was earlier non-existent and reaching out to the needy youth in slum areas also. In a recently conducted programme, nearly one crore youth were involved in creating awareness and facilitating the digital transitions.
“The NYKS is involved in new initiatives like Swachchta (cleanliness), immunisation, Ganga cleaning, safety on national highways, identification of talent in the field of art and culture across the country,” said Singh.
