Ernakulam (Kerala) [India], June 30 (ANI): Emphasising the importance of youth involvement in societal development, the Think Kerala Youth Conclave held in Kochi on Sunday has called for strengthening collective voices to build a promising future for Kerala.
Justice Devan Ramachandran inaugurated the conclave, which was held at the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) in Kochi on Sunday.

“Building a sustainable and promising future for Kerala demands a collective voice of the youth to drive positive changes in society,” Justice Ramachandran said while addressing the event.
He stressed the need to understand the reasons behind the recent trend of many young people increasingly emigrating from the state. Justice Ramachandran pointed out that Kerala has around 75 lakh workers from other states, indicating a shift necessary in Malayali work ethic.
“Ensuring women’s safety is important in the development of a healthy society by enabling them to walk freely in public space at any time,” he said, adding that crime reduction requires not just punishment but also public awareness. He also called for dismantling societal prejudices as a means to achieving fairness and equal opportunity for all.
Justice Ramachandran urged the youth to become a driving force for positive social change.
The conclave, themed “Dream Kerala is Possible,” aimed at creating a dynamic platform for innovative solutions for sustainable development. It brought together 300 young people aged between 18 and 30. Experts from various fields engaged in discussions and interacted with the participants.
