Nineteen committees had been formed to arrange the convention. A.V. Vamana Kumar, national President of the Indian Jaycees, said 10 Indian outstanding young achievers would be felicitated on the occasion.

He said the seminars in the convention would be held on the lines of Parliament sessions.

The aim of the Jaycee movement was to create better citizens by providing the youth opportunities in training, management, community service, and public relations.
