Churachandpur, August 12 2021:
The 21st International Youth Day was celebrated today with a low profile function under the aegis of Nehru Yuva Kendra (NYK) Churachandpur at its office at Tuibong.
It was celebrated with the theme "Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health".
NYK Volunteers and youth clubs' leaders took part in the programme.
In his speech as the resource person, Th Mangminthang Gangte, District Information Officer said that simply producing a larger volume of food is not a guarantee to human and planetary wellbeing.
As such, the cycle of the food system does not end at eating.
The disposal of waste food and management of leftover food matters a lot and here the youth can chip in their innovations.
Since youths are the working forces and active changemakers of the world, everything the youth decide to do will have a great impact on the society as well as the planet, he said.
