Description:: Young Kerala is a mission to foster benevolence towards young people in Kerala. Yk invests in the well being of the next generation Keralites by realising that youth with a positive self esteem can contribute to the State economic output in a positive manner.

The current state of emotional well being in Kerala is:
- We consume 3 times more alcohol against the rest of India.
- We have 3 times more tendency to suicide than the rest of India.
- Family suicides are very rampant in Kerala. Last month a man killed himself, his wife and 3 children. The smallest child was 53 days old.
- Our people consume 25% of the psychotropic drugs produced in India.
- Our State economic output is 3 times lower of our neigbbouring States.
- We lost 83 days of production due to harthals and bandhs in 2008.
- Young men from our State are involved in communal violence within and outside the State.
- Young people kill their parent and Vice Versa.
- 2 young girls found raped and killed in a pond.
- 23% of women in Kerala are beaten up.
- 30% of people between 15-30 are unemployed.
- GSDP is a mere $ 20 billion against $70 billio of T.N and $ 52 billion of Karnaka. Take $5.5 billion out of Kerala's GDSP, we are left with a dismal $ 14.5 billion. And do you know that we spent more than $ 2 billion drinking ??
- Average Keralite starts drinking at 13.13 years of age.

There is only negative news about Young people. Young people are looked down upon and ostracised. When people cannot handle the level of ostracisation, they take to stimulants to find a perceived better state of mind. Or they escape life by killing themselves.

The real reason for this negativity is the lack of self esteem in our people.

We need to stay away from negativity. Be bold and positive and contribute to our State in a positive manner. The older generation phases out and new leaders have to take their place.

We need to create a confident 15-30 age group to have future leaders in the 30 plus category.

Young people in Kerala need not worry. Kerala needs you, the current generation needs you.

You have a new generation which is keen to invest in your well being.

Young Kerala is a not for profit organisation aimed at fostering the self esteem of young Keralites between the ages of 15-30 irrespective of caste, colour, creed, challenges, socio-economic background.
