To impart leadership skills amongst young people, a workshop on Conscious Leadership and Alchemy of Change was organized with participation of 30 youth leaders. Today the world that we live in is witnessing competition, confusion, and chaos as never before. For the next generation, the competition for survival is going to become more acute and spirited. In the state of Jammu and Kashmir, 66 percent of the population is under the age group of 30 years. Hence, this is the largest constituency which requires attention from policy makers, educational institutions, peace building organizations and political establishment for ensuring a new visionary leadership. Therefore, their aspirations for change need support and guidance so that they bring the desired changes which they wish to see in their world. The prime objective of the workshop was to define a new direction for an emerging future, a leadership that transforms Business, Politics, Society, and Self. The workshop aimed to impart education that provides opportunities to youth to equip them with skills and knowledge so that they can deal with stressful situations. The workshop guided the participants to have a deeper understanding of thoughts, how emotions are triggered, what are core beliefs and how to respond to external stimuli.

They live in the world of dreaming unaware about the challenges they would face in future. So Life Skills play an important role in making them capable of dealing with these challenges. Programmer Assistant Mr Yogesh Sharma from RGNIYD RC Chandigarh told the participants about the importance of Life Skills. And also highlighted that we are following the same traditional educational system where Lakh of engineers, doctors, and skilled labours are produced but they are not competent enough to get jobs since they lack life skills. So merely getting a degree doesn't ensure success. Mr Nirbhay Singh, Director Projects Arietis Globus, New Delhi said learning is a two way process and one should be keen to learn from anyone at any time to be a successful person. He also said making a mistake is not bad, however repeating that mistake is definitely a cause of concern.
