With nine years of glorious past and decades ahead that promise nothing short, Yi intends to become a larger movement of young people and promote the attitude of We Can, We Will. Dear, Ramesh Agrawal Message from the Chairman CII Chhattisgarh The greatest wealth and strength of any nation is its youth. The future of a nation lies in the hands of its posterity. The quality of its youth determines the kind of future, the nation will have. Therefore, if we want to ensure a bright future for our country, we first need to strengthen and empower our youth. The youth of any nation and society are its potential energy. They are the powerhouse and storehouse of infinite energy. They are the ones who are the pride of the nation. It is the youth which brings laurels to their country. If we can harness this powerhouse of the nation in the right direction then the country can reach untold heights. All we need is to direct the energy of our youth in constructive channels that lead to development and progress. The creative potential of the younger generation coupled with their zeal, enthusiasm, energy and versatility can work wonders for the country. We need to empower our youth so that they can make a better tomorrow. Let us focus on constructively using the power of the youth for the betterment of the nation. Let us frame such policies which aim at empowering our youth so that we can be assured of a better future and a brighter tomorrow. Yi has been able to bring together young Indians from all across the nation and garner strength, develop focus and most importantly undertake a holistic approach to nation building with a "We can We will" approach. I am delighted to note that the Young Indian Chhattisgarh chapter ably led by Mr. Dinesh Agrawal, with his competent team, has been admirably successful in engaging youth of the region in the development process of the nation. It is my sincere wish that Yi takes up some projects that will fulfill a long term need of the city and society. CII is indeed proud that Yi shaping exactly the way my senior colleagues at CII have envisioned. I am sure Yi continues to grow and make significant contribution. My best wishes to in their journey to excellence in making a better India

4 Dear Members, It was matter of great privilege & honour for me to be the helm of affairs of Yi Raipur Chapter for the year I look back with great satisfaction and pride at the achievements of the chapter. The agenda we had set for ourselves when the new team took over the responsibility was distinctly clear in mind. Looking at the larger context, the year has been another remarkable year for the country. We are fortunate to be at such a defining moment in time when India is truly recognized as the next great opportunity globally. We moved on to a higher plane of economic growth which gradually trickling down benefits of this growth to the society by creating better quality life. As you may be aware, CII chapter of Raipur in association with Aims Management Consultant organized "Run for Life" Aids run on Aids awareness on 1st December 2010 the occasion of World Aids Day. Large number of CII members and Yi members along with more than 800 college & school students participated in the run. I am sure together "WE CAN- WE WILL" 04 Message from the Chairman YI Raipur Chapter Dinesh Agrawal Yi Raipur has organised more than 14 blood donation camps in various industrial premises in Urla & Siltara Industrial Area and more than 1500 units of blood were donated. Yi Raipur chapter organised a Cancer Awareness and health Check-up Camp for industrial worker and staff at industrial premises in Urla & Siltara Industrial Area. One day 'Workshop on Macro Economics Scenario' at Disha Institute of Management and Technology, Raipur. Under Yi Raipur Environment initiative Yi Raipur Chapter developed a Green belt and Yi-Square at Urla Industrial Area Overall chapter has done well in some area and in some we will do better in future. The experience of being the first Chair for Raipur chapter has been great learning. Last but not the least a great set of friends that I am sure I have made for a long time to come. I would like to wish all the best to the incoming chair Pankaj Sarda, who stood by me during my chairmanship. I am confident that with new leadership that is taking over, Yi Raipur chapter will achieve the plans that have been set. I also take this opportunity to thank CII Chhattisgarh for all the support and would like to acknowledge the sincere efforts of Yi secretariat. I shall look back fondly at memories of having led our Yi chapter. And what shall give me even greater joy and satisfaction is to see Yi scale much greater heights in the coming years with the active participation of all members. Dear Members, Pankaj Sarda Message from the Vice-Chairman YI Raipur Chapter It has been a personal privilege to work with Mr Dinesh Agrawal Yi's Chairman, whose determination, grit and energy have been the driving force for Yi's chapters and initiatives. I sincerely thank all the members of Yi Raipur chapter for their continuous support in making the events in and around Raipur a success, I expect the members to continue their valuable support in initiating and scaling up the activities and projects. I would also like to appreciate the energy, enthusiasm and zest of the team of Yi Raipur Chapter who have made this year so successful. It takes an individual to initiate a process and a small group to begin a movement. This essentially sums up what Yi is all about. Yi as a body of like minded individuals has been able to bring together young Indians from across the nation to undertake a holistic approach to nation building where it is not just growth in business that becomes the point of focus, but growth that is also inclusive and which reaches the less fortunate. It is especially heartening to see the emphasis on reaching out to the less fortunate elements of society through the various Yi initiatives being currently undertaken. Although we have had good growth in the State's economy during the past few years our state still faces many serious challenges. The Yi movement has grown with strong moral and ethical values and is eager to bring about positive change in terms of both establishing a new set of priorities in terms of what to focus on, and also by doing things in a more ethical manner - reaffirming its commitment to its objectives on Education, Employment, Health Care and the Environment. Although Yi provides a platform for the interactions between the various sections of the Society, this year emphasis should be laid on bringing together the Members (industry leaders), the Students (Future of the country) and the Farmers (Ground zero entrepreneurs). Together they will and they can help the Government in taking proper decisions and forming better legislations. Thus giving it all back to the Society wherein they are a part of the recipients of the fruits. Yi is unique in its objectives, composition and lineage. And fortunate to exist at the current time of India's history and empowered by people of our age group. We can truly achieve whatever we choose to dream. That is the power of being a Young Indian! 05
