Naga Sravan Kilaru, who is the founder of Vijayawada Needs you (VnU) represented IYONS 2015 as the AP state representative. “I think we need more conferences like IYONS happening regularly, building communication and networking within likeminded youth is very important, and through VnU we would try to establish such kind of events within our society,” he said.


IYONS, which carries the tagline ‘The change begins’, is a network with young leaders across continents that work together to promote peace and prosperity. It connects young leaders who run various organisations at district, state and country level and focuses on issues their country is facing. IYONS will have parallel workshops from eminent young leaders to spread awareness on un-sustainability development, millennium development goals, social entrepreneurship and social activism.
