Youth has become the centre point for the development of any country. As per census 2011, every third person in India is a young person (15-29 years: NYP 2014). Proportion of youth population increased steadily from 16.5 per cent in 1971 to 19.2 per cent in 2011. India is the youngest country with 64 per cent of its population in the working age group. Being the youngest country in the world and having the major chunk of youth population, India has to devise various programmes, policies and welfare measures by positioning youth as the focus of our nation building. In order to make youth as productive human resource for national development and active citizens in civic engagement activities, they must be equipped with knowledge, essential skills and positive attitudes. There are lot of opportunities and challenges before the youth of North-East Region (NER) of India. The region owing to its own historical legacies, geopolitical and socio-cultural settings exposed the youth of the region to the situations which are unique and very peculiar at the present time. Therefore, to address the issues and challenges, building capacities, utilizing energy of youth in the NER especially in Arunachal Pradesh, the\u00a0Centre for Youth Development and Leadership Studies (CYDLS)<\/strong>\u00a0was established in 2017 at Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU), Rono Hills, Doimukh. In this short span of time, centre has progressed well and is continuously striving for achieving its objectives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
