    It is a great idea to hold conventions like these and encourage the younger generation to be the future leaders.

    The present day generation is well informed regarding their roles and with proper guidance should certainly be the future responsible citizens.

    It is expedient that they should be encouraged to take Government positions and qualify in The I.A.S. I.F.S. and I.P.S. cadres instead of taking up jobs and more than that there should not be cases of BRAIN DRAIN. Ivan D'Souza who was present at the meeting for instance is one who is A ROLE MODEL

    I am glad that The Religious leaders are playing their part in this direction.
