Theme- Uniting with Youth Against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow’s Integrity
The world stands in need of a corruption-free society. For peace, for development, for society’s welfare.
Men and women of conscience and integrity raise concern about the deteriorating situation of our human society whose fabric is being destroyed by corruption.
One notices corruption as a growing phenomenon. The more we take strides in development, the more we are cought in the web of corruption. National and world leaders are caught for corrupt deals and activities. Many underhand deals are executed with corrupt elements among contractors, business magnates, industrial houses, even religious heads.
The UN calls the youth of the world to break the shackles of corruption. It tells them that “With 1.9 billion young people in the world, fighting corruption is vital for the future of nearly a quarter of the global population.”
The Youth, united against corruption, will indeed make a difference. In addition to being a self-educative process, it will shake the conscience of the world and call for value formation and integrity in private, public and social life.
