We are very delighted to report the successful progress of the initiative taken by ISKCON Prayagraj to establish a Youth Welfare Centre at Varanasi to expand its mission of supporting academic education, skill development & healthy food to needy students at Varanasi, India. Equipped with all modern amenities, the center will cater to the children of poor laborers in the local region.
Young Indians today are grappling with anxiety, loneliness, depression & unhealthy habits. Over the last five years, more than 40,000 students committed suicide in India. Lack of value education and over-emphasis by our society on external success are two main reasons for depression among students. Youths need proper career counseling, a healthy lifestyle, and most importantly - character education.
To facilitate this we have organized many online seminars and counseling sessions to help the students.
250 students have been provided counseling for JEE Main / Advanced. 450 students attended the online seminar "Benefits of Living a Healthy Lifestyle". Many software and skill training Workshops have been conducted which benefited more than 500 students to build a successful career.
We are very thankful to our donors, experts from different fields to join us, and volunteers who helped us to reach out and help more and more youths to shape their life and career.
