Kasturi Youth Award
One of the key visions of the 2024–25 Kasturi Executive Committee is to engage youth with the Kasturi organization and help them embrace our culture. They are our future, and it’s essential to involve them more in everything we do. As part of this initiative, we launched the Kasturi Youth Committee to keep our youth engaged during events and to plan community service activities.
Another major initiative is the introduction of the Kasturi Youth Award, created to recognize the achievements and talents of Kasturi youth across various categories.
