In Uttar Pradesh, youth represent more than six million of the population, aged between 15 and 24 years. Despite forming such a big portion of the state population, there haven't been required policies framed that shall help in the development of youth, and those existing aren't really able to benefit the youth because of the approachability and implementational lags. The main motive behind the formation of youth policy in UP is to be able to work with youth, make them aware of various vital issues affecting them directly or indirectly, gathering their inputs on the same, and also to make provisions for their basic rights so that their participation increases at each level. This will provide them with the opportunity for their holistic development, be it personal, educational, financial, social or political aspect; to infuse optimism in their approach, and thus utilizing their potential for the development of the state.
Youth for Change Programme, which has now been working for three years, focusing on the issue of Youth sexual and reproductive health, in ten districts of UP, plans to launch a campaign on 13th November, 2009, also at the state level, a meeting highlighting the same issues will be organised on the 10th December, 2009.
Youth from various voluntary organisations, students from colleges, universities; NGOs and esteemed intellectuals from relevant fields are expected to be a part of this campaign. Each individual who is alive to his rights and obligations, shall be a part of the same, As a part of this campaign, the feedback of the youth, through various mediums, shall be collected for further consideration, on various issues like education, health and nutrition, livelihood training and entrepreneurship, violence, gender, social security, citizenship and participation, identity and equality, social justice, sports.
