Key Recommendations Issue 6: Lack of interest in entrepreneurship Youths expressed a lack of interest in entrepreneurship due to the inherent risk in being an entrepreneur and the lack of information and knowledge available. TRCYW has co-organized with NTU TLS to launch Vanigavettai, a program to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit among youth and groom confident entrepreneurs. It offers entrepreneurial scenarios, networking opportunities and information on current industrial and market needs. Issue 7: Interpreting Socio-Politics & current Socio-Political issues In general, there is need for awareness and education on socio-politics as Tamil youth are not actively involved in socio-political issues. Awareness campaigns to educate and facilitate self-learning, focus group discussions, panel discussions with key figures and establishing a blog were suggested to increase youth involvement and promote a higher level of independent socio-political engagement.
