1. Introduction
In India, persons in the age group of 13-35 years are considered as youth. It is acknowledged that since all the persons within this age group are unlikely to be one homogeneous group, but a conglomeration
of sub groups with differing social roles and requirements; the age group may, therefore be divided into two broad sub-groups i.e. 13- 19 years and 20-35 years (National Youth Policy 2003).
  • Increased self-esteem, popularity, sense of personal control and enhanced identity and personality development. In a homogenous community, the youthassemble informally on various occasions, discuss their common issues, interests, aspirations, hobbies and gradually the informal groups may convert themselves as an activists group. They may assemble inmarriage occasions, other family functions, festivals or calamities and trying to help eachother. This informal groups and associations may later develop themselves into a Youth Clubs with names according to their choice. These types of Youth Clubs or Organisations are available in many parts of the country, especially in villages, residential colonies and slums. ormatYouth Club

The youth worker, before venturing to form a Youth Club in a particular village, slum or urban locality, should study the area thoroughly. The Study should include the geography, socio-economic scenario, social and  political dynamics, presence of various vested interest groups or other agencies and the issues and concerns of the area; particularly of youth. The youth worker should identify the elders in the community who can influence the youth of that area. These could include the Village Pradhan, Panchayat members, School teachers, Post Master, Anganvadi workers, Residential Association Office Bearers or any other person of repute in the area. The youth worker may get in touch with the public opinion leaders of the community and discuss with them the need and advantage of having a Youth Club in the area and convince them about the cause. With the help of these public opinion leaders, a meeting of the youth can be convened and the idea of the Youth  Club may be discussed.• In the meantime, youth workers may seek the help and advice of the
Youth Coordinator of the district in forming the Youth Club
Convene a meeting of all the enrolled members on a date convenient for the Youth Co-ordinator  and village head/leaders. The main agenda will be election of office bearers of the Youth Club









 




2. Comparison between Society and Company
The device of “Society” was evolved to fulfil the need for an institution of non-commercial nature for promotion of numerous charitable activities like education, art, religion, culture, music and sports etc. Associations, clubs or societies are formed to help further these causes because they work on non-profit basis. A society can be formed to achieve this end. A society has been variously defined. It has been
described as a company or association of persons (generally unincorporated) united together by mutual consent to deliberate, determine and act jointly for a common
