On the sidelines of the G20 summit, the first meeting of Youth20 (Y20) will be held in Guwahati from February 6-8.
This is the first of the various meetings to be held on the five Y20 themes across India in a run-up to the final Youth-20 Summit in August 2023.
More than 250 delegates from across the world are expected to participate in the 3-day event in Assam.
It will focus on five themes of Future of Work; Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction; Peace Building and Reconciliation; Youth in Democracy and Health, Wellbeing and Sports.
Youth20 is one of the eight official engagement groups under the G20 umbrella.
The Y20 India Summit in 2023 would exemplify India's youth-centric efforts and provide an opportunity to showcase its values and policy measures to the youth across the globe.
Its objective is to find out the thinking of the youth and incorporate their suggestions in the policy proposals. It is an attempt to create a channel of contact between G20 governments and their local youth.
