Centre for Youth Development & Activities (Formely The Youth—Pakistan) is a registered non-governmental and a non-profit organization under SRA'1860, GoP, founded by a group of young professionals with a view to influence societal issues, and also representing youth on actual basis. This organization is working in collaboration with Yuvsatta—Chandigarh (India) on Peace issues especially between Indo Pak and other issues also.
It was in the vision in the process of organizing, after a continuation of study circle for an year after which a circle of youth structured in January 2006, that youth must be aware of the past & present conditions and can build their own personalities and know their responsibilities in their societies, a role which they can play effectively.
We are dedicated to equipping young people with skills essential to building sensitivity and responsibility towards the society we live in, and developing them into positive Change makers of the future.

We realize that for improvement in a man’s condition, every dimension of social life must be improved. We do it in our own small way. By combining discussion with action with the aim of a more desirable future built on contribution for the youth.

We basically are focusing on;

I– Agahi (Awareness)
Today it is compulsory to be aware from the present conditions in a country and plan for the future accordingly. To learn all alone, a man is in the need to understand his surrounding and he has to comprehend these surroundings in the national and international content too.

II– Aman (Peace)
The goal of world peace has yet to be achieved. Indeed, violence within neighborhoods, communities, cities, and countries has intensified. Nonetheless, the majority of the global community continues to erect mechanisms in order to attain this ideal state. It is not until there is a global commitment to peace that it can be achieved.

III– Saqafat (Culture)
Though today one culture is imposed gradually in the entire world as it contains culture of two types: a) of Producers includes workers, artisans, farmers; b) of Non-producers including capitalists mainly. All current facilities and utilities are due to producers class. By these creators, the culture of peace and truth is projected. International capitalist culture is removing ours which is based on local roots. Youth have to protect this culture for retaining their identity. We are in the favor of a culture which is based on peace, truth and fight against injustice.

IV– Taleem (Education)
The concept of education has long been a contentious issue. While some view education as a platform from which to advocate the preservation of a given society’s basic values, others place higher emphasis on such virtues as intellectual growth and self-enlightenment. Moreover, education is considered a basic human right and when it is granted, it provides growth and development in areas such as health, nutrition, an income and fertility rates.

V- Jamhuriat (Democracy)
Democracy is as necessary for a country as air for a man. There must be freedom on educational, social & environmental levels for the development of a country or that the creative and pure abilities can be exposed to structure our system. Without it, we will remain ignorant about what a man is interested to create and declare his point of view. We do favor to the freedom of expression of youth on domestic and international levels.

VI- Mahaul (Environment)

II– Camps
We organize camps each year in which young people from diverse backgrounds come together to impact society through creative action programs. Camps are very supportive and effective tool to promote discipline and leadership.

III– Online Web Group
This group has been started for young people to gather at a point and discuss major and hot issues and events all over the world. The URL of this group is;
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/youthpakistan
Membership is open for everyone.

IV– SMILE
We wish to add a program in our working through Students’ Mobilization Initiative for learning through Exposure (SMILE) which focuses on providing diverse, action-oriented learning opportunities to young people about social issues. Its emphasis is on promoting youth volunteerism.
This program encompasses
..Direct mobilization and sensitization of privileged and underprivileged young people through presentations & orientation camps.
..Providing a platform to young people for learning, sharing and action for change.

V – Campaign for Peace-city Sadikabad
CYDA has initiated a “Campaign for Peace-city Sadikabad”, in which more than 50 Peace Clubs will be formed in major educational institutions of Sadikabad. Similar work/ campaigns are running in Chandigarh, Belgaum & Karnatka too by Yuvsatta-Chandigarh. With the passage of time, this will result in:

>> Controlling violence in society, especially in the youngsters.
>> Relationship between teachers will also improve and also Character of Students.
>> Mad race of materialism and consumerism can be checked.
>> Environmental concerns will be affectively handled.
