Who We Are

The Indian Assembly of Youth (IAY) is a national federation of youth organizations, formed in 1955 with the blessings of The First Prime Minister of India, Shri Jawahar Lal Nehru and officially registered in 1966.

It has a rich legacy of youth empowerment, sustainable development, education, environmental action, and international cooperation.

Initially affiliated to the World Assembly of Youth (WAY), IAY withdrew from that body in 1974 along with other major national youth organizations. IAY is a federation of National youth organizations and provides a common forum where political, student and other youth and service organizations work hand in hand for the welfare of the youth of the country.

The IAY also organises national consultative meetings as also specific consultative meetings on the problems of the young working women, in addition to promoting rural youth camps, trekking programmes, youth rallies, and celebration of rural youth day on 1ST February of every year.
