About DCCI Youth Forum

The Confederation of Purbo and Paschim Midnapore District Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) Youth Forum is an annual initiative of the President of the Council. It has evolved into a key platform where young people can contribute to policy discussions at the United Nations through their collective ideas, solutions and innovations.

As the main platform for youth to share their ideas at the global level, the Forum allows representatives of youth-led and youth-focused organizations and networks, youth advocates and other youth stakeholders to dialogue with Member States, and to explore ways and means of promoting youth development and engagement. Participants take part in brainstorming sessions, interactive speaker panels and discussions with Member States. Other gatherings held in the framework of the Forum, including side events, encourage participants to further engage with one another on a wide range of topics.

Mission

A cell of the Youth Forum was formed at the Confederation of Purbo and Paschim Midnapore District Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The main objective of this cell is to create a leader to lead our main organization in the future and that leader will be created through the Youth Forum. Today’s enterprising youth leader is a senior leader who has accumulated the experience of tomorrow. Through this youth forum, new youth can accumulate experience in new ventures and become future leaders and take the main organization and the country forward.

Main Focus

The main focus is the role of youth in the monitoring, review and the implementation of the Agenda and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In that context, the Youth Forum offers a unique opportunity for youth to voice their opinions, share ideas, and think together about what should be done to achieve the 2022 Agenda but also to how address the challenges they face as youth and the contributions they can make to achieve the youth-specific SDG targets.
