History
After a keen observation of today's society particularly youth for the last Seventeen years, it has been concluded that the present system is producing a consumerist personality, concentrated on self only. It has lost volunteerism totally. As a result every kind of degradation has set in. All over the world moral & social values have been diluted. Today's world is facing dangerous diseases and calamities.
The only way to sustainable development is an accurate infrastructure at every level or voluntary involvement of masses especially youth in every kind of development system, that needs an integrated personality but the circumstances are producing disintegrated personalities.
