History
On his return to India in May 2005 after graduation, Amitabh Shah visited orphanages, the local Blind People's Association, two slum children schools and poor vagabonds found near the railway stations.
Incepted in 2005, Yuva Unstoppable started as a small group of enthusiastic individuals, and today it has mobilized more than 120,000 'young people' with a simple aim of creating a better world to live in. Youth is that wonderful time in life when energy is limitless, human creativity is at its best and the 'never say die' spirit is a constant driving force. Yuva Unstoppable with its root aspiration of spreading smiles and kindness is initiating a youth voluntary movement for the welfare of the less privileged. Yuva Unstoppable inspires every youth to spare sometime of their life towards serving others, spreading happiness and extending love to all.
Success mantra
YUVA Unstoppable believes in the principle stated by Mahatma Gandhi – "Be the change you want to see in the world". It says that young people are not useless but they are used less, so it tries to give direction to the aspiring new generation to do something good.
