History

On his return to India in May 2005 after graduation, Amitabh Shah[1] visited orphanages, the local Blind People's Association, two slum children schools and poor vagabonds found near the railway stations.

He founded Yuva Unstoppable in the same year, with a small group of enthusiastic individuals. Since then it has mobilized more than 120,000 young people with a simple aim of creating a better world to live in.

In 2010, former Indian president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam addressed Yuva Unstoppable's 5th anniversary gathering.[2][3]
