Minister for Tribal Welfare Ramesh Tawadkar on Saturday said today’s youth are not directionless and, if properly guided, can become strong agents of social change.

Tawadkar praised Balram Education Society for promoting Munda’s values and lauded Adarsh Yuva Sangh for maintaining an “addiction-free” membership.
