NAYS

The setting up of National Academy of Young Scientists (NAYS) is a very timely and important initiative. The fact that youth plays a crucial role in building the future of any nation has long been recognised and documented. The real wealth of any nation is not natural resources but the intellectual capabilities, commitment, honesty and integrity of its youth.Youth participation has been used by government agencies, researchers, educators, and policy makers to define and examine the active engagement of young people in schools, sports, government, community development and economic activity. In some earlier documents meaningful youth participation has been recognised as nurturing the strengths, interests, and abilities of young people through the provision of real opportunities for youth to become involved in decisions that affect them at individual and systemic levels.
