One lakh youth driving change in society

September 23, 2014 07:27 am | Updated 07:27 am IST - NEW DELHI:

Leaders For Tomorrow, a not-for-profit youth movement that started in a classroom in Delhi University in 2004, on Monday celebrated its achievement of inspiring over one lakh youth to join the movement. The initiative has inspired youth to take out a little time every week to drive change in society. The organisation helps make youth more aware about the world around them and helps them become more socially responsible.

The core team comprising over 250 senior leaders from across colleges/universities of Delhi/NCR met at Nehru Park to mark the milestone and conduct a food and cloth collection drive for victims of the Kashmir flood.

The team organises regular events like plantation drives, anti-drug campaigns, anti-ragging campaigns, cleanliness drives, visits to old-age homes and skill development programmes for the less privileged children to name a few.

On the occasion, founder Binoy Job addressed the young leaders and said: “The huge success of Leaders For Tomorrow shows that given a platform, India’s youth can lead social change through simple activities that can begin from every individual.”

Leaders For Tomorrow organises one social action event every fortnight in over 200 campuses, one project through which they teach about 6,000 underprivileged kids every weekend, an online debate every week, one State-level campaign and one national event every year.
