International Youth Day
Youth, the word is synonymous to an identity full of spark, energy, and enthusiasm. Driven by the passion of social change, youth of a country is undoubtedly instrumental in spearheading its present and preparing it to head towards a better tomorrow. With the same view, a resolution announcing August 12 as ‘International Youth Day’ was adopted during the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth in 1998. But it was in 1999, when the UN General Assembly endorsed the proposal and observed this day for the first time in 2000. Since then the event has been celebrated globally and every year it witnesses the huge participation of government and non-government organizations, academic institutions, corporates, and young people.
Youth has always been considered as the building block of any society. And it must not be forgotten that in a country like India, it was only the self-determination power of youth like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Sukhdev, Rajguru, and many more, which brought about a revolution in the country and it got rid of the clutches of British. India rejoiced in the lap of Independence only when they sacrificed their lives. The spirit of such great martyrs must be saluted.  Comments (6) | Read more...

Delhi, the seat of power of the world's largest democracy, is a rapidly developing urban center and features in the list of top ten most populated cities in the world. One of the oldest continually inhabited cities, Delhi today is facing the dual pressure of development as well as an ever increasing population.
In the climate constrained world of today, 'development' itself is seen as a threat to the environment and it is indeed 'development' which attracts the workforce and contributes to the increasing urban population. However, development--in the real sense of the word--is essential for the growth and prosperity of a region and of a nation as a whole. Development should be sustainable and should not discount the needs and requirements of the future generation.
With this as the backdrop, Delhi Greens is calling for the second Delhi Youth Summit on Climate (DYSoC '10) at the first Prime Minister's residence in Teen Murti House . The two day summit will take place on 5th and 6th of June, 2010 and will be an ideal platform to mark the World Environment Day. DYSoC 2010 will bring together the youth from across the capital city and attempt to understand the various urban environmental issues in the wake of climate change.
