Abstract

The future development of the country is on the hands of today's youth. Culture has the power to transform entire societies, strengthen local communities and forge a sense of identity and belonging for people of all ages. As a vector for youth development and civic engagement, culture plays an essential role in promoting sustainable social and economic development for future generations. Youth can act as a bridge between cultures and serve as key agents in promoting peace and intercultural understanding. It is said that the age of youth in India is 13 to 35 years.  Therefore, The Ministry of Education and Youth held a seminar in April-May 1969 with youth leaders and representatives of various youth organizations.  The seminar was about the large number of non-student youth than student youth and the lack of institutional facilities available to young people such as non-student youth Problems with integration were also discussed. It was also decided at the seminar to form a National Advisory Committee on Youth during the Fourth Five Year Plan.  In 1970, the National Youth Advisory Council recommended the formation and implementation of a non-student youth group.
