Aarya, known for its grace and hunting prowess, reflects the potential and energy of Indian youth, serving as an evergreen inspiration for positive change across the globe. We are truly grateful to have Aarya, the Amur Leopard, as part of the Youth of India Foundation family.

Every young person has their own unique dreams and talents just like how unique our Aarya is. The Youth of India Foundation celebrates this uniqueness, encouraging every youth to stand out and make a mark on the world. It is also known that Amur Leopard territory can be as large as almost 120 square miles, that’s around 75,000 acres or even more than 55,000 football fields and are protective for their space just as the Youth of India are guardians of their dreams and ambitions, looking to create an impact in their communities. Its survival against such odds is a testament to its unmatched strength ,similar to how young people frequently experience many challenges that they must have to deal with; their spirit remains unwavering and continues to face through all of their difficulties.
