Objective of CHYK

Youth is a stage in human development when the personality is bursting with energy, enthusiasm, and dynamism. This is also a phase in life when receptivity and retention are at the optimum. What youth require is a clear vision of a goal in life and exercises for the cultivation of the right values of life to enable them to mold their personality and harness their inner resources along constructive channels. This systematic preparation alone can equip the youth to face the challenges of life with a smile. This essential training of youth for leadership in life is being successfully accomplished through the Chinmaya Yuva Kendra.
