Mullana Celebrates International Youth Day

Aug. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- MM University celebrated International Youth day with great fervor. International Youth day is the day designated by the UN to recognize the potential of youth, to celebrate their achievements, and plan for ways to better engage young people to successfully take action in the development of their societies. It presents a unique opportunity for all stakeholders to rally together to ensure that young people are included in decision-making at all levels. The theme of this year’s International Youth Day is “Sustainability: Our Challenge Our Future’,
The Youth hold the key to a better environment, society and the economy for a bright future and they need to have the knowledge of using them for a positive growth in every manner. Keeping in mind the increased number of AIDS cases amongst the current generation, MM University, on this occasion decided to educate its students about AIDS.
The programme started with the lamp lighting ceremony and the inaugural speech by Vice chancellor Dr. S.G. Damle. By quoting, MM University has always thought of community service before its own personal motives and shall continue to organize such programmes that benefit the society. Through our students we would spread the message of ‘Sustainability’ to everyone.”
Dr. Rakesh Choudhary, Additional Project director, Haryana State AIDS control society was present to grace the occasion as the chief guest. He said “It is a very noble initiative taken by MM University”. According to UN the number of HIV positive patients in India is bound to rise to 12 million from a 2.47 million figure presently. Though the government has initiated a number of projects to curb this disease but those cannot be successful without the participation of the youth. There is a crying need to create awareness amongst the Youth about this disease and educating them about the prevention measures.”
