Empowering Youth

“Be the change you want to see in the world” - Mahatma Gandhi I thoroughly believe in this. One has to be responsible enough to make a difference if one desires to see a difference in the workings of the society. It was with this thought that STAIRS was started 8 years ago. The society sees a change when someone sees the next step towards progress and STAIRS is the catalyst to this change towards growth and development. Today India has the largest population of Youth in the world with over 243 million individuals aged between 10-19 years residing here. The country’s adolescents
