A Quarterly e-newsletter by and for CCS graduates
January 2008


Editorial

Welcome to 2008!

The year began with great excitement, as young liberals from different parts of the country flocked to Manesar, with the active support of Friedrich Naumann Foundation and Centre for Civil Society to dream about a freer India. Not only did they aspire, they have decided to come together to form Liberal Youth Forum-India (LYF - India) to act as an umbrella of youth organizations which are striving to create the India of their dreams, although in their own unique ways. We wish to hear more from LYF- India and their efforts!
