Programme Activities |
 |
| |
| The vision of Kendra can only be sustained by concrete outputs along with a broad range of activities. The activities of the Kendra are, therefore, aimed at the development of youth, with inspiration drawn from the great slogan, "arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached". Kendra's activities include:
| |
| (a) Training Programmes: Conducting training programmes for youth across a wide spectrum of developmental activities. The issues are mainly : Leadership & Personality Development, Entrepreneurship Development and Awareness, Training Programme on NGO Management, Fund Raising, Disaster Management, Water Conservation, Women Empowerment, Communication Skills, Prevention of Drug Abuse and Alcoholism and Certificate Course in Youth Work and so on.
|  |
| (b) Seminars, Conferences and Workshops: Organising national and international level seminars and conferences on subjects of concern. Generally the issues are Right To Information Act; Utilization of Government Schemes, Youth and Peace; Women Empowerment; Promotion of Voluntarism and so on.
| | (c) Research & Documentation: Recognising the paucity of authentic data on subjects of relevance to the youth, the Vishwa Yuvak Kendra, through a sense of responsibility, has continually engaged itself in research, although on a modest scale. Studies encompassing various social development issues have been completed by the Kendra.
| | (d) Publication: Apart from publishing its own research studies and workshop reports for general promulgation, the Kendra produces a quarterly newsletter and a half-yearly youth journal which serves to communicate perspectives on topical issues. Kendra also publishes relevant reports of various training programmes from time to time.
