However, more often than not, their energies and keenness remain unutilized for want of opportunities. 'Young Impressions' on d-sector aims to provide them space to interact, share their views and become proficient to participate in the development debate and process. We encourage youngsters to take up causes, partake in social welfare and be pro-active in words and deeds on various social issues. We will be liberal in publishing their views and reviews, experiences, updates and features on this exclusive page for youth. So, all concerned young people, come forward and make the impression.
