Dear Netters,

Here is a request for help.

======================================================================
	
	YUVA SHAKTI - YOUNG INDIA BLOSSOM HERE
	--------------------------------------

If at all anybody can lead India's march into the
21st century, it is the youth of today.

It has therefore, become imperative for today's youth,
the young Indian student, to be properly trained and
guided in assuming the mantle of leadership and 
responsibility, to hold the reins of country.

Vidyarthi Shikshana Seva Trust sponsored by Akhil Bharatiya 
Vidyarthi Parishad(ABVP), has taken the onus upon itself
in this gigantic task. Over the years, VSS trust has undertaken
numerous constructive programs and projects to awaken the
students and youths of India. The most ambitious among
them being the plan to set up a nerve center for students 
called YUVA SHAKTI, in Bangalore.


	YUVA SHAKTI - AN UMBRELLA FOR STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
	-------------------------------------------------

The primary objective behind setting up YUVA SHAKTI,
is to develop a national character; and instill a 
sense of discipline; a sense of pride in India's
traditions and heritage; social awareness and a 
sense of belonging and togetherness amongst the 
students in India.

This innovative center will encompass an entire
gamut of activities aimed at making the young Indian
student a more confident and cultured Indian citizen.


	ACTIVITIES AT A GLANCE
	---------------------

* Conducting an on-going personality development program
  linked to social transformation through workshops,
  seminars and lectures including group dynamics and 
  physical training.

* Study circles on topical issues with focussed group
  discussions to generate awareness on social matters
  and current affairs.

* Counseling by experts on vocational, personal and
  other matters.

* Guidance and assistance for competitive exams.

* Sports to bring out the inherent skills amongst
  students via training and competitions.

* Active interaction with Industry, educational and
  research institutions.

* Inter-State Student Exchanges with a view towards
  emotional integration of India.

* An extensive library-cum-reading room.

* A well-equipped book and instruments bank.


	ACTIVITIES ON THE ANVIL
	-----------------------

* Foreign student exchange programs.

* Research projects on socio-economic topics.

* Generating awareness about constitutional, democratic
  and social values.

* Regular audio-visual shows with educational, scientific
  and cultural films borrowed from various world 
  organizations.

* Setting up a vocational employment bureau.

* Encouraging and helping young students to become
  entrepreneurs in both technical and non-technical
  areas.

* Guidance and counseling center for special categories
  of students like disabled and girls.


	S.O.S
	-----

Such an ambitious project, does cost a lot of money.
Lakhs of rupees in fact. Fortunately VSS Trust today
has managed to acquire 4700 square foot of building
at Seshadripuram, Bangalore by way of donation.
However, what we are now looking for is donations in cash.
Or even in kind. Like construction materials. Right now
we urgently require cement, bricks, sand, doors, windows,
tiles, sanitary ware and furniture.

We are also seeking donors who can sponsor specific portions
of the building. Like Library, Discussion Hall, Counselling 
center and Conference Hall.

We earnestly solicit your help and encouragement.
Your helping hand would transform students power into nations
power and make the students the pride of our country.
