A good move in right direction and time. Hope this forum graduates into a productive civil society institution.
People of this peaceful district have yet to convert their sacrifices for the beloved motherland into improved living standards, despite possessing rich natural and human resources. Exploitative factors have been playing havoc, under the patronage of strongholds and the clergy, in the past more specifically with the youth.
In fact, the peace-loving attitude of the residents has been converted into their bottleneck and weakness, primarily in the name of socio-cultural norms, while on the other hand the politics has also failed to deliver. Now its need of the day that such civil society organizations are filled with a forward looking and energetic youth who could bring balance in the society, make the authorities realize & recognize of the strengths and to help the leadership in identifying issues, recommending solutions and contributing in the implementation. To materialize this, GYC needs to grow internally and not depending on yellow journalism, lest it is handicapped.
Best wishes for success.
