International Youth Day Observed at AAFT



Noida: On 17 December 1999,the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth that 12 August be declared International Youth Day.

“We have to put the youth energy to its best use. The Clean India subject of ours has been adopted by our honorable Prime Minister and has been declared as a National Campaign. Now we want to start LIGHT INDIA and we want to start with youth energy to light up all the villages of India” said Sandeep Marwah President Marwah Studio, Ambassador of IHRO affiliated to United Nations and World Peace Development And Research Foundation.

“The theme of International Youth Day, 12 August 2015, is “Youth Civic Engagement.” The engagement and participation of youth is essential to achieve sustainable human development. Yet often the opportunities for youth to engage politically, economically and socially are low or non-existent” added Marwah while addressing the students of Asian Education Group at AAFT Campus.

 “In this landmark year, as leaders prepare to adopt a bold new vision for sustainable development, the engagement of youth is more valuable than ever. At this critical moment in history, I call on young people to demand and foster the dramatic progress so urgently needed in our world.” message of Ban Ki Moon read by Prof. Harshvardhan Vice President International Film And Research Centre of AAFT.
