About Jaipur: The Pink CityJaipur is named after its founder the warrior and astronomer sovereign Sawai Jai Singh II (ruled 1688 to 1744). It is 260 kms. from Delhi and 240 kms. from Agra and forms the most chosen tourism golden triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. The old Jaipur painted in pink can grip any visitor with admiration.

The Pink City is one of the most sought after tourist destinations of Rajasthan.

About Jaipuria Institute of Management

Jaipuria's legacy of education began in 1945 with the establishment of Jaipuria College in Kolkata. It is this unique heritage spanning 7 decades and 4 generations that sets us apart from other educational institutes.

Its journey in management education began in 1995 with the first campus in Lucknow, Noida in 2004, Jaipur in 2006 and Indore in 2010. Today Jaipuria Institute of Management is one of the largest groups in northern and central India to offer AICTE approved PGDM programs.

South Asian Association for Regional

Cooperation (SAARC) established in

1985, is now thirty years old. As with

age, maturity should reflect in the

working of an organization as is

supposed in the life of an individual.

Time is befitting that the missing

dynamism be induced in the eight

nations (Afghanistan, Bangladesh,

Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal,

Pakistan and Sri Lanka) so that this

integration which is reported to be the

most youthful, as youth make up one-

fifth of South Asia's demography, gears

up and realizes its true potential by

harnessing the power of youth.

According to UNFPA, three South Asian

countries ( India, Pakistan and

Bangladesh) are amongst world's ten

countries with largest youth population.

Also policy makers in emerging Asian

countries are concerned about youth as

between 1960 and 2000, the number

of adolescents and young adults

doubled or more than doubled in nearly

every Asian countr y. The only

exceptions were China, Japan, North

Korea, and Kazakhstan. The rapid

growth of youth population has created

pressure to expand education, health,

and employment programs aimed at

this group. The Asian economies need

to capitalize the demographic dividend

which is likely to end over the next few

decades as aging population has

started severely affecting Japan, Korea,

China, Singapore and Thailand.

The youth provides a ray of hope for the

dynamism required for the success of

SAARC and emerging Asian nations.

The historical baggage of suspicion,

fear and hostility among South Asian

nations, can be overcome by the young

vibrant minds that can bring change,

reinvigorate business among the region

and spur economic growth.

In South and Emerging Asia, the agenda

to achieve prosperity is driven by the

need to achieve sustainable growth and

reduce poverty. Plethora of reforms are

required for businesses to flourish in

this region. When young minds get

involved, they help create and shape

the future bringing unique and

innovative perspectives that need to be

taken into account.

The International Conference on Youth 2025 -"Harnessing

Youth for Development, Sustainability and Happiness":

Imperatives and Challenges for SAARC and Emerging Asian

Countries, (ICHYDSH-2017) would deliberate on how to

harness and utilize the youth power which is a catalyst for

bringing about a change. SAARC and emerging Asia need

to reinvigorate the structure, processes and mechanism

of working to bring about business sustainability in the

region which is abounding with various challenges.

Challenges are of varied nature like population pressure,

persistence of widespread poverty, environmental

degradation, human rights violation, terrorism, rise of

ethnic and communal riots. These challenges have put

the economies on the "unsustainable path" which can be

attributed to change in values and practices at socio-

economic and political level. SAARC and emerging Asian

economies will need a new strategic vision to revitalize

itself.

The conference seeks to fortify co-operation and

exchange between the SAARC and emerging Asian

countries to support advances in spheres, such as

science, technology, legislation and production as well as

in socio-economic and political spheres. It will help focus

the attention of the SAARC and emerging Asian countries

which calls for a renewal of culture to confront the major st challenge of the 21 century: The quest for business

sustainability.

How can today's society address the complex interaction of environmental, social and economic forces and how can youth contribute for this cause?
