When we cannot stop the unrest in our own country and city how can we talk about others.” Suresh Chandra Bauddh – President Y.B.S India said.

He added, “we have a simple thought, let’s ask youth to join us and when we sit together, talk together, work together, we can think together and that’s whole thing about unity which takes us to peace and prosperity.”

The group has all young student volunteers, 21 year old Neeraj from Agra University says, “nothing is impossible and we have confidence on it. I’ve joined this group to make difference in my own life, I am sure I will help in making difference in other’s life too.”

She loves the simplicity and friendliness of people here; she said that this rally is impossible for an individual.
