4th Foundation Day of Young Minds Collective (YMC)

*

The 4th Foundation Day of Young Minds Collective (YMC) was successfully held at Hasan Coaching Institute, Heibong Makhong, Mayang Imphal, with the theme "Role of Youth in Social Change". The event brought together executives, advisors, volunteers, and well-wishers of YMC, who shared valuable suggestions and feedback to progress the platform.

The program aimed to bridge the gap between youths and their potential, developing a sense of activism, social responsibility, and collectiveness towards a better future. YMC has been conducting discussion sessions on various academic and issue-based topics and has taken initiatives to develop and promote quality education and empower youth in the community. The organization also strives to empower and promote women's participation in education and social domains.

The event highlighted the disconnect between youth's energy and potential and their ability to drive meaningful social change. Speakers emphasized the need for engagement, discussion, and decision-making opportunities for youth to participate in social change. They also discussed the challenges of financial scarcity, lack of valuable education, and upskilling, which hinder youth's ability to bring change.

Additionally, the hyper influence of pursuing only doctor and engineering careers, driven by materialistic development and societal pressure, was discussed. This has led to a lack of exploration of other career options and a generational shift in career choices.

To improve the organization, suggestions included regular connects and interests, streamlining objectives, and targeting important priorities.

YMC would like to thank all the participants of today’s programme, and all those who have been contributing/supporting the platform for a change. YMC looks forward to suggestions and feedback from all to strengthen the platform and empower youth to drive social change.
