The Department of Youth Services and Sports was created during 1982-83 with an objective of involving youth in the task of National reconstruction and to harness their energy towards eradication of social evils. About 40% of the population consists of youth who need ample opportunity for self-expression, self-development, and cultural attainment enabling them to assume social and civic responsibility. To become socially useful, functionally effective, and economically well-being, the Department is providing requisite institution and infrastructural facilities to these youth in its various programs. The main aim of the Department is to make the youth a powerful instrument in effecting social, cultural, and economic changes and to channel their energies, idealism, and aspirations towards building up a strong and modern India.
