Intention: We envision a world where young people are well-equipped to be active and positive change agents in their communities as the result of their skill-building efforts and the development of their own natural aptitudes…a group of young men and women that have a positive outlook for their present and their future, as well as the future of their communities. We envision a Sangha – a network of positive and strong individuals and groups – who can nurture, empower and encourage youth to be self-sufficient and to be the solution to the problems or challenges they face in their own lives and in society.

Mission and Vision: Parmarth Niketan Youth Alliance is an initiative operated under the aegis of Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh. Parmarth means for the welfare and well-being of all, and it is for all that the Alliance works. Parmarth Youth Alliance’s mission and vision is to unite as agents of change for a clean, green, serene and sustainable Rishikesh that is a model for our state and our nation – a model that continues to attract and inspire the world. We all must work together for this purpose. This vision and mission is rooted in an ability to bring together an active, dedicated and committed core team who will help realize this objective by modeling the very change that they want to see in their communities.
