Youth Welfare center for Food, Skills & Career IND

We are very delighted to report the successful progress of the initiative taken by ISKCON Varanasi 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 45,000 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 over the past years to help the students.

200+ students have been provided free counseling for JEE Main / Advanced last quarter and 800+ in the last few years.

100+ students from different colleges attended the online seminar "YOGA of Relationships " last quarter where we invited the Dean of Industry Relations at VGI, Pune as our guest speaker where he shared his realizations with students to make healthy relationships to lead a happy life.

We also conducted INTER COLLEGE EDUFIESTA  to provide Technical, Spiritual & Personality Development training to youths of different colleges which was attended by 150+ students where industry experts from different fields and corporates guided and trained the students for their 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.
