2. Which type of event is National
Youth Summit and why?
Because National Youth Summit enhanced
leadership capacity, build confidence, introduced
the youth to the social challenges, inculcated
responsibility, ensured intercultural & interfaith
harmony and provide an opportunity to network
with the youth around the country. It’s a unique
leadership development program that will bring
together outstanding and focused young people
from around the country to build critical leadership
skills in an inclusive and global context.
Moreover, the summit will help in creating cultural
harmony, shall pool the young talent around the
country, and evolve regional strategies to address
issues of discrimination, unemployment, identity
and extremism.
Azad Kashmir remains an
impoverished region, and
the 2005 earthquake’s toll
continues to haunt the
area. It is vital to develop
social bonding and
community engagement
with the various other
regions of the country due
to the fact that lesser
economic activities have
developed lesser interest
of other regional
population to visit AJK.

nationally to show their skills, share best
practices, enhance cooperation and advance
intercultural and interfaith harmony.

make up a possible scenario where the young
people can mobilize communities, stand for
their rights, work jointly on common interests
and form partnerships to tackle the
challenges of tomorrow.
