st this pandemic."
Around 10,000 students and 270 delegates from 37 countries are in India to deliberate on issues ranging from smoking in schools to healthy gender relations at the five-day Global Youth Meet (GYM).
Appreciating the effort of the HRIDAY-SHAN, an NGO headed by eminent cardiologist K. Srinath Reddy, the prime minister said young people who are well informed and highly motivated can be effective change agents in society - influencing not only their peers but also adults.
Remembering Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India, on his 117th birth anniversary Tuesday that is celebrated as Children's Day, Singh said, Nehru was very fond of children.
"I am sure he would have been happy to see young people like you meet and talk about serious issues concerning the well being of humans and our planet as a whole," he remarked.
After the inauguration at the National Stadium, the GYM will move to Agra from Nov 15 to 18. On Nov 19, the meet will conclude in Delhi with the launch of the Youth for Health (Y4H) campaign, which will enable youth from participating nations to exchange ideas on better health practices.
Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the US, Russia, Argentina, Italy, France, Denmark, Ghana, Fiji, Iran and Zambia are among countries participating in the event.
