Although society does not give prominence to this topic of “Youth Empowerment”, it has a significant impact on society as youth is the future of a country. By initiating this project, we anticipated that youth would get the opportunity to develop leadership skills, personal growth, strategic thinking, conflict management, team building, entrepreneurship development, creative thinking, developing soft and technical skills and help the economy and themselves by starting businesses as emerging youth entrepreneurs and leaders of the country.
