Asian Bridge India, under the Youth for Equality Initiative Program, successfully organized International Youth Day 2025. A large number of youth and adolescent girls from Usmanpura, Pakki Bazar, and Kanshiram Awas participated in the event.

The program began with a warm welcome and introduction, followed by open discussions, video screenings, dialogues, and sports competitions.

During the discussions, young participants reflected on their duties towards society, leadership potential, and the importance of self-confidence. Inspired by the thoughts of Ambedkar and Gandhi, the youth emphasized their commitment to leading society in the right direction.

Participants shared their personal experiences, highlighting that awareness, energy, and leadership among youth are the true strengths of nation-building. The screening of the video and the song “Mann ke Manjire” further deepened their understanding of gender equality and self-reliance.

In the sports competitions, youth actively participated with great enthusiasm, learning teamwork and strengthening their spirit of cooperation. Winners of the dialogue and sports events were awarded.

The program concluded with a vote of thanks, appreciating all participants and organizers for making the event successful.

 This celebration not only boosted the confidence of young participants but also served as a motivating step towards bringing positive change in society.

This initiative is a call to action — urging the community to no longer overlook violence, discrimination, or unequal treatment in the guise of culture or festivals. Asian Bridge India encouraged public participation through dialogues, street plays, awareness sessions, and solidarity gatherings. The campaign emphasized that real celebration lies in respecting dignity and ensuring equality. Through this, ABI reaffirmed its commitment to building a just, respectful, and inclusive society for all.

This exchange fostered mutual learning and strengthened the bond between the two organizations. The interactive session created a space for dialogue, collaboration, and reflection — reinforcing the value of solidarity among grassroots organizations. ABI looks forward to nurturing this connection and building more opportunities for joint learning and impact in the future.
