Building Dynamic Leaders for Tomorrow
Lakshminarayanan, from a small village in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, was once on the verge of suicide. Only in his early 20s, he thought his problems were unprecedented and that the only way to be free of them was to be free of the world. Luckily for him, someone sent him to do the Youth Leadership Training programmessme (YLTP) at The Art of Living International center in Bangalore. 10 days later, he says, his life changed.
The Youth Leadership Training programmessmeme was established in August 1999. This programmessmeme has a unique syllabus. Not only does the Youth Leadership Training programmessme focus on personal development and communication skills, but through stress-reducing breathing techniques, individuals find inner peace and communities to come together in a spirit of service. Participants are inspired to volunteer for rural projects to help re-furbish and support their villages and the fruits of the seeds sown in the classroom can be experienced by the community as a whole.
