Young generation is known to be the vehicle that is important to drive a nation's development

In such a case, problems and issues that they face can hamper their productive process

International Youth Day is the perfect opportunity to highlight such issues and bring into light solutions to the problems

International Youth Day is observed on August 12 to spread awareness and highlight the problems faced by the youth across the world

The World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth in Lisbon recommended commemorating this day to the UN General Assembly

It was in 1999, that the United Nations decided to mark this special day on August 12

It is celebrated through campaigns, events, concerts, etc to create awareness about the socio-political and social-economic issues youth are facing

This year the theme of the day is “Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a world for all ages.”
