India has a young population profile, and it is imperative to understand the power of the consumers of tomorrow. With youngsters becoming a key stakeholder for advocating socially responsible behaviour, FICCI CASCADE believes that it is important to train and educate the young minds in order to empower and strengthen our society for national development and shape the future of our country in a brighter and more prosperous manner.
