Car Nicobar is set to witness a major youth event as the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) organizes a one-day ‘Yuva Utsav: India@2047’ program on October 22 at Priyadarshini Hall, Tamaloo.

The program, hosted by Nehru Yuva Kendra, Car Nicobar, in collaboration with the Nicobar District Administration and Village Councils, promises to be a vibrant platform for young talents to showcase their skills. It is part of a broader initiative, ‘India@2047,’ which envisions a future where the youth play a pivotal role in nation-building.

4. Photography Workshop (Theme: Panch Prans): Amateur photographers will capture images reflecting the spirit of the Panch Prans.
