YCS YSM India recently on 16th January 2016 celebrated its 50th Golden Jubilee celebration. A big congratulations to all the YCS ers . It is a milestone for our movement to celebrate its 50 years which started in Chennai long back in the year 1966. The celebration of the golden jubilee is a matter of pride as well as happiness for us.
YCS YSM movement over all these years has not only grown and developed but also have moulded each and everyone who have been a part of it. This is a growth oriented movement; the reason for the existence of this movement is the all round development of the students to whom this movement belong by following the teachings of Jesus. Slowly and steadily this movement has spread all over India in these 50 years and this was made possible by the dedicated leaders of this movement.
I joined this movement when I was in class 6 but when I attended the XVI National Council in Shillong, I got the clear picture of this wonderful movement. I was overwhelmed when I realised that I was a part of this great movement which is present in the entire world. The history and the background of this movement shows the struggle , dedication, determination, coordination and positivity which this movement has shown to develop the student and to become what it is today. We cannot just judge this movement by looking at it. To understand and experience the joy which YCS gives we have to be a part of it. Truly these 50 years are golden not only for YCS but also for its members. This is because in all these years YCS has motivated and inspired the students in their life which has made all the difference.
The golden jubilee celebration of this movement was not only to celebrate the happiness of the movement for completing 50 years but also to celebrate the gift of life which YCS has given to its members. YCS has always blessed us with great ideologies, spirituality and humbleness. Over these years YCS has given all of us a new dimension in our life. But the question arises what we are doing in return. Our responsibilities not only end by just celebrating the golden jubilee but with the promise to carry forward the movement with greater zeal and enthusiasm. All these years YCS has been strong but now somewhere it is going weak. It should be our priority to strengthen it once again with our support and care in the same way this movement has shown towards us. I can truly say that YCS has brought a positive change in me as well as brought the best out of me. It has always inspired me to face my faults with courage and humility. Its values has always been a strong driving force which has helped me to make correct decisions and I believe all the YCS ers will agree. So let's give back to YCS what it has given us. Let's help our movement to shine all over the world and help it to make the world a better place. Let's promise to keep our movement alive and full of vigour for hundreds of years to come by keeping the methodology, aim and objectives in our mind. We should contribute our hundred percent to develop the world with the help of this movement into a better place to live. Let YCS YSM light shine bright all over the world.
