KNOW OUR CAUSE

The Global Center for Social Dynamic Research (GCSDR) has launched a National Campaign, for the Youth Wellbeing and Empowerment, responding to the growing Mental- Health, Psychological and Behavioral challenges faced by Children, Adolescents and Youth across India due to change in Societal Environment, family structure and various other evolving factors.

This Campaign is dedicated to saving young lives through a series of three-day workshops to be conducted Pan India in Public Schools, Govt. Schools, Govt. Aided Schools, Central Schools, Navodaya Vidyalayas, Army Public Schools, UPSC/NEET/JEE Coaching Institutes, Engineering Colleges/Medical Colleges/Colleges/Universities and other Institutions. These workshops will engage students, parents and faculty to focus on addressing critical issues such as stress, anxiety, fear, loneliness, negative thought patterns, and increasing risk of suicidal tendencies among today’s school- going children and youth of Colleges and Institutions all over. Number of such cases have been reported in the recent past from different parts of the Country including the Capital State of Delhi. Many such cases sometimes remain unreported due to certain reasons.​

As a key public outreach component of this national campaign, the GCSDR is organizing a 21.5Km/10Km/5Km/3Km (open Category/Fun Run) “Youth First” World's  Biggest Half Marathon on Mental Wellbeing of Youth  on Sunday, 20 September  2026 from Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi. This mega event is being held to amplify awareness and initiate collective action, engaging people of all ages and communities, all over, for youth wellbeing and empowerment, which forms as a flagship event and integral part of our campaign titled “YOUTH FIRST”.  Yes, Youth have to be the first, in every family, institution, society and nation, of course, over all priorities.  Simply, to understand and sum up that when Youth smile, so smiles the World.
