This portal, an initiative by the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, is designed to empower Indian youth through social mobility, educational equity, and practical skill development. It serves as an online platform for youth leadership and social engagement, offering young people opportunities to advance their careers, develop positive personalities, and contribute to community participation in activities of national importance, thereby supporting the nation’s growth.
The event was graced by Rongsentoshi Jamir, President of Rotary Club, Mokokchung; I Temsu Jamir, former President of the Rotary Club; and S.T. Haokip, District Youth Officer (DYO), NYK Mokokchung. Addressing the youth participants, S.T.
