Speaking on the occasion, Bishop Dr Gerald said that youth should develop leadership qualities and should lead our society very well. Whatever impossible should be possible for youth. Our youth should take more importance to become IAS, KAS or top governmental services rather than doctors and engineers. Already 3 diocean youth are undergoing training for IPS. More youth should think about these professions. Further he said that youth should take more responsibility in our society.
