With the rising population of unemployed youth, ensuring sustainable livelihood is the need of the hour. TYF aimed at ensuring each and every youth involved in some productive self-sustaining activity and thus have taken initiatives to direct their knowledge, skills and ability in productive engagement. A famous saying by Ming-Dao Deng goes like “ Remember that you are your own person. Do not surrender your mind, heart, or body to any person. Never compromise your dignity for any reason. Never depend on others for your livelihood”. Hence TYF organizes various sessions and initiatives like-
