Alumni Experience

Youth Impact made me uplift the fears and gave me a lens to see the world differently. I saw myself transforming, taking challenges head on without fearing. I started to realise the answers to my questions I had been asking from years. Markhor was definitely a turning point in my life.

Markhor was a life changing experience for me and I promised myself that I will not live an ordinary life. Always keeping this in mind that I must give back to the society either socially or in a scientific way. Let’s see where life takes away.

Being a cancer survivor Markhor journey helps me to shape a better version of mine. It has beautiful memories to cherish, hurdles to test and overcome, humanity & nature to explore, learn, personal insights to develop & reflect on.

I applied for this conference with a belief that it will polish my personality and help me recognize my strong arm. My favorite memory back from the wilderness phase is the bonfire night in which I heard the life stories and struggle journeys of other fellows and got a chance to know their life experiences which gave me useful insights. I was a procrastinator before being part of Youth Impact, but after the completion of Markhor journey, my time management skills improved remarkably. Markhor is truly a life-changing experience for me because I faced new challenges in it, and learned how to deal with them in the best possible way.

M.RaufMarkhor’20 Alumnus

Markhor was the conference where I could self-analyse myself in a better way. I expected that nature's way would prove to be a guide for my self-consciousness and clarity of vision. My favourite memory from Markhor is when I connected with His creation so closely that portrayed a lucid image of myself. I learned patience and persistence by being a Markhor. This conference instilled freshness and genuineness in my personality
