INTRODUCTION OF NYKS

Nehru YuvaKendras were established in the year 1972 with

the objective of providing rural youth avenues to take part in
the process of nation-building as well as providing
opportunities for the development of their personality and
skills.
In the year 1987-88, Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan(NYKS)
was set up as an autonomous organization under the
Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, to
oversee the working of these Kendras. NYKS is the largest
grassroots-level youth organization; one of its kind in the
world. It channelizes the power of youth on the principles of
voluntarism, self-help and community participation.
 Over the years, Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan has
established a network of youth clubs in villages, where Nehru
YuvaKendras have been set up. NYKS has targeted to
identify areas of harnessing youth power for development by
forming Youth Clubs, which are village-level voluntary action
groups of youth at the grassroots level to involve them in
nation-building activities. The core strength of NYKS lies in its
network of youth clubs. Youth Clubs are village-based
organizations working for community development and youth
empowerment .
The basic objective for the creation of youth clubs is to
render community support through developmental initiatives
involving activities with a particular focus on youth
empowerment. The implementation of programmes and
activities of youth clubs is based on local needs and
requirements by mobilizing resources from various
government departments and other agencies, which include
both national, State level and multilateral institutions. The
youth clubs and its member volunteers form the base of the
NYKS’s vast national rural network.
Objectives :
Objectives of NYKS are twofold :-
 To involve the rural youth in nation-building activities.
 To develop such skills and values in them with which they
become responsible and productive citizens of a modern,
secular and technological nation.
Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan has been working on various
fronts of youth development with a variety of youth
programmes of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and certain
special programmes in coordination and cooperation with
other ministries. The main focus has been on developing
values of good citizenship, thinking and behaving in secular
 ways, skill development and helping youth to adopt productive
and organized behaviour.

Vision :
The vision of the organization focuses on developing long-
term strategies for good citizenship and youth leadership at
the grass root level. Youth Clubs are formed and encouraged
to participate in sports and cultural and local development
activities. Youth leadership is developed in the course of the
formation and sustenance of youth clubs. This leadership
becomes highly useful in creating:-
 Networks of volunteers.
 Opportunities of participation in fundamental democratic
practices of polity and development; and,
 Instruments of empowerment of youth like skill generation,
awareness creation about health, life skills, and self-
employment.
Because almost three-fourths of the Indian population is rural,
the development of the nation as a whole depends on their
progress and development. Besides, the demographic
dividend that the country has enjoyed because of the larger
segment of the youth population, makes it almost mandatory
for the largest youth organization like NYKS to take up more
and more of such programmes as will promise empowerment
of youth.
SADAK SURAKSHA - JEEVAN RAKSHA

With millions of lives endangered worldwide, road traffic

accidents (RTA) rank alarmingly high in the recent trends of
pressing social issues. Approximately 328 lives are lost daily,
much of which could have been prevented with timely rescue
and intervention. Despite the innumerable road safety
campaigns and awareness drives, India still ranks first in the
number of road accident deaths across 199 countries and
accounts for almost 11% of all accident- related deaths in the
world. Despite global stagnancy and uncertainty owing to the
Covid 19 pandemic and consequent lockdown, road accidents
have managed to claim 29,415 lives just between March and
June, with an additional 51970 casualties. Clearly, road safety
continues to be a major developmental and public health
concern, acting as a leading cause of death and injuries
worldwide.

Recognizing road accidents as a leading cause of death in the

country, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways,
Government of India has called for a joint effort of the state and
central government to facilitate the improvement of road and
safety infrastructure and to reduce casualties and mortality.

While the situation might appear rather grim, people need to

come together as changemakers, now more than ever before.
We must all strive to do our part to ensure that we receive what
we deserve - safer roads and safer communities, once and for
all.

To improve safety and reduce road crash casualties, the

Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRT&H) has
entrusted the Indian Road Safety Campaign (a non-profit
organization) to lead road safety activities aimed at upping
grassroot level citizen involvement in road safety measures
across the nation.
