Get ready to be a part for a youth awareness program – Youth Against Leprosy, a national youth festival organized by Sasakawa-India Leprosy Foundation (S-ILF.) The program is aimed to raise the awareness levels about leprosy amongst the younger generation. The festival will be a finale of all participating colleges from all over India that undertook the program and training. The festival will show wider participation of youth that engaged in creative activities to make the event a success.

Dr. Rajiv Kumar, Vice Chairman NITI Ayog will grace the occasion as the Chief Guest along with Mr. Yohei Sasakawa, WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy eradication, he will be present as the Guest of Honor. S-ILF’s annual youth festival provides a platform for young people from non-leprosy backgrounds (students from different colleges/universities) to mingle and interact with youth from leprosy colonies. These interactions are aimed to bust myths and create social bridges among college youth regarding leprosy. Youth Festival helps to bridge the “us versus them” divide.
