With more than 808 million people under the age of 35, India has the world’s largest youth population. These young people, especially those in their late adolescent years and early 20s are people full of energy and a extra little time to spare. To maximise the potential gains from this “most dynamic and vibrant segment” of the population and channel their energy in the right direction, we at Chhattisgarh Agricon Samiti along with our esteemed partners engage youth volunteers.  

We engage them in making different contributions towards their communities by using their time to volunteer for different causes. All volunteer groups from different districts have different identities and names, but they work with the same spirit under the aegis of the “Youth4Change” initiative.
