    4. A Message
    By Dr. Surya Nath Prasad
    To the All India Students Energy Parliament held on 25 February, 2016 at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala in India

    Youth and peace are synonymous. Youth is for peace. Peace is fully supported, protected, safe and secure in the hands of youth.

    “If sons and daughters misbehave with their parents, students are indisciplined towards teachers, youth laugh at religious preachers and agitate against rulers and political leaders, we must have doubt on faulty characters of these elders rather than our youngsters.”
