International Youth Forum | New Delhi 2012
“A youth without fire is followed by an old age without experience.”
The Youth are not only leaders of tomorrow, but also partners of today. We at IYF are an inspired young team of individuals with a shared mission; a mission to change the world. With India witnessing a radical change in the mindset of people towards governance and policies, and increasing despondency among people due to continuous compromise of citizens’ welfare, there is a rising need to address the grass root challenges of development and focus on making the world self-reliant through both – individual and cooperative efforts.
International Youth Forum is a one of its kind endeavor to bring together motivated and inspired young adults from across the world to deliberate and work towards effective Policy, Change and Development. It is our ‘Call for Action’ to the youth worldwide.
IYF will connect the world on a common platform and promote a sense of global-oneness. Through this initiative we wish to provide a positive stimulus to individuals who want to make a difference. We aim to connect various Student Groups, NGO’s, Social Organizations and Youth Communities to work together for a better future.
The Forum will be centered around the theme ‘Role of Youth in Indian Renaissance’ with discussions, seminars and competitions based on Social Entrepreneurship, Model Governance and Citizens’ Participation.
IYF is an initiative by Youth of India and Alexis Society has taken the lead as its Principal Organizer. Last time when we came together, we built a nation. This time, let us reform the world.
“Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is achieved.”- Swami Vivekananda

Review of ESYA 11 @ IIIT, Delhi
Download all the results of ESYA 11 (PDF File, 2MB)
ESYA’11 was the first ever tech fest organized by Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-D). Esya, the word meaning exploration, was truly one of its kind – it was indeed a discovery of talents of sorts! The convenor Naman Jain, along with his team of organizers, though being amateurs, put up a great show and made it a grand success. The best part was that there was something for everybody, as the events were not limited to technical and engineering fields (as one would usually expect), but a lot more diverse. Events ranged from social entrepreneurship to B-Plan, to exciting games for avid PS3 gamers, to mobile programming and a lot more. An interesting part of the fest was that a Blood Donation Camp was organized – a thought provoking event giving the event a more humane touch that forces one to stop for a moment and contribute their bit for the society and the ailing.
Okay, now let’s have a quick look at some interesting facts about the event:
- There was a total of 14 events organized
- A total of 1000 people participated in 3 events alone with their major success being Hunt-IT, seeing a participation of 300 students from across different colleges.
- XQuizIT saw a participation of more than 80 teams.
- There were grand prizes given away to the proud winners.
- A proper security system with 2 PCR Vans was maintained to ensure smooth functioning of the whole 3-Day event.
Now for a few words straight from the horse’s mouth. The convenor, Naman Jain, on being asked about his experience of the show delightfully said, “These few weeks have been really tiring as we have been working really hard, but looking at the enthusiasm of the participants, we feel motivated!”
All in all, it was a well organized and well executed event.
ESYA 11 – Tech Fest of IIITD
The launching-pad for your falcon flight to the carnival of innovation, creativity and talent is finally here!! Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-D) proudly presents its first ever tech fest, ESYA ’11 – Exploring Infinity and Beyond, being organized on the 3rd and 4th of September 2011.
The word “Esya” comes from the Sanskrit word for “Exploration”. True to its name, Esya is not just another science and technology competition, but a unique event aiming at nurturing the ideas of today’s young minds in the form of healthy competition in different fields of technology and innovation. What really sets it apart from all other college events is its being a unique extravaganza dedicated exclusively to exploring the omnipresence of Information Technology in all spheres of life.
With creativity and the drive to innovate for a positive impact on the society as its priorities, Esya resolves to make a difference by helping students present their ideas and skills in the best possible manner. It doesn’t just help in the honing of their innate capabilities, but also gives its participants amazing opportunities for ample exposure to the diversity of work being done in various fields of Computer Science, through seminars and workshops involving interaction with professionals from the industry. It also assists in inculcating entrepreneurial temperament by providing students with opportunities to exhibit and further develop their managerial and organizational skills.
