Bala Vikasa founder Bala Theresa emphasised the role of youth in development and vision of a society that is inclusive, value-based and progressive. Bala Vikasa Executive Director Shoury Reddy told the participants to think about the change that they want to be in the society and inspired them to try new avenues like social innovation and entrepreneurship to earn their livelihoods while solving critical social problems.
