National Youth Festival

The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that the Department of Youth Affairs organises a National Youth Festival every year, in collaboration with a State willing to host the Event. About 75-100 participants from every State/UT, primarily students and youth in the age group of 15-29 years, participate in the Festival. These youth interact with each other and take part in various activities like Yuva Kriti, Young Artist Camp, Skill development programme, Suvichar & Youth Convention, One Act play, Folk Dance etc. This event greatly contributes to National integration. 

Such programme is organized once every year. In the Year 2015, it was held in Guwahati, Asssam. 

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today the Minister said, approximately around 5000 young delegates from all over the country participate in the national youth festival every year.
