In a society, in a nation the youth necessarily forms the vanguard in the most spheres of activity, and it is essential that their power must be mobilised further to strengthen our integrity and capacity. Our young men and women have a responsibility to safeguard their great nation and its deep rooted ideals. The youth constitute an immense reserviour of strength which, if properly chanalised,  will prove to be a source of great power to the nation and building up of a vast and pulsating democratic nation which is no mean undertaking, and a mere desire to be of service is not enough, we must empower our youth. The younger generation today faces challenges graver than any with which our forefathers were confronted. Empowering the youth will speed up the process of development in every walks of life, and it is hoped our young men and women will not be found wanting in strengthening the country.
