The day is dedicated to inspiring young minds, promoting education, and encouraging community service. The theme for National Youth Day 2024 is “Arise, Awake, and Realise the Power You Hold. Being a youngster provides you with the capacity to change the past and create a new bright future. We hold a power that can take our society to a new level. Not just accepting other cultures but also utilising your own talents. No matter in which field you're talented you have the capacity to be the one to bring change. This year's theme promotes utilization of talents, strength, capacity and power a youngster holds which if guided and used well can lead into development. Youth are backbone of the society. It is important not only for youths but also responsibility of the all citizens of country to support their youth. Government, parents, teachers, etc. should consider them and provide them with equal right and dignity so that they can develop being responsible and know their worth. We as a society needs to change our perspective regarding youth. They should be provided with dignity and right to choose their paths with all support and guidance. Let us this year celebrate and appreciate our youth for their talents, activities, and inventions they have made for the society.
