The Youth, i.e. those falling within the age group of 15-29 years constitutes nearly 40% of the total population of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. This group which is the most vibrant and dynamic segment of the states population constitutes potentially its most valuable human resource. Over the years, JKYDF Sangathan has established a network of youth clubs in every block of J&K and Ladakh , where JKYDF have been set up. JKYDF has targeted to identify areas of harnessing youth power for development by forming Youth Clubs, which are block/tehsil level voluntary action groups of youth at the grassroots level to involve them in nation building activities. JKYDF Youth Clubs are Block based organizations working for community development and youth
empowerment. Youth Clubs are formed and encouraged to participate in sports, cultural and local development activities. Youth leadership is developed in the course of formation and sustenance of youth clubs.Youth Affairs
