Recognizing the youth's vital role in nation-building, the State shall promote civic
consciousness among the youth and shall develop their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual
and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism, nationalism, and advance
their involvement in public and civic affairs.
In pursuit of these goals, the youth, the most valuable resource of the nation, shall be
motivated, trained, organized and mobilized in military training, literacy, civic welfare and
other similar endeavours in the service of the nation.”
