The National Chamber of Commerce officially launched the youth wing of their organization on 30 January at the National Chamber Office in Colombo 10.
The youth wing has previously organized a talk on entrepreneurship with the assistance of the chamber and is now formally a part of the organization. The youth wing aims for the coming year to organize workshops on family wealth planning and other charitable activities. The president of the youth wing of the organization is Dushinka Nelson.
National Chamber President Asela de Livera said, “I am speaking to a room of inquiring young leaders. You can take positive use of technologies to build relationships across communities and throughout the globe. Today the younger generations want the planet to be cleaner, your friends and neighbors to be treated fairly with respect no matter their ethnicity, religion, or status. You are optimistic about the challenges we face like climate change and conflict. They should inspire you to make a change.”
“We need energy and the potential of the youth to achieve rural transformation through agro tech and related activity. You are the first generation to live in a planet profoundly transformed by climate change. Only you can find solutions. Think positively. Our nation’s productivity is very low and there is a lot of room to improve through technology,” he said.
“We will be able to advise you on any matters where you need our assistance. We would like for you to help MSMEs especially in the outstation who will need your assistance in obtaining marketing, finance, and better packaging, ” he added.
