Crisis produces leaders. The best testimony is youth of Kerala who have led the response and recovery of the state from multiple recent natural calamities and on-going COVID19 pandemic. Skilled and socially committed youth has always shaped our society from as far back as the 19th century renaissance movement. The aspirations of youth across the world have changed. And it is time that Governments acknowledge and nurture their dreams and shape future leadership; a leadership which advances the values of modernity, professional ethos, humaneness, critical thinking, scientific temper, secularism, gender justice and egalitarianism. A leadership which contributes to human commons beyond partisan politics or sectarianism. A leadership which advances the march of Kerala’s youth to be global leaders in a knowledge economy. I am confident that KYLA will harness the immense potential of the harbingers of change in our society- our youth who fearlessly led battles against obscurantism, injustices and natural calamities.

– Shri. Pinarayi Vijayan, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Kerala

About Us

k

The Kerala Youth Leadership Academy (KYLA), an institution incubated by Government of Kerala, aims to nurture leadership amongst the youth in the state. The Academy is the first of its kind virtual-only learning platform in the country promoted by a State Government. The pioneering institution aims to build capacities, perspectives and attitudes of Kerala’s youth to be better civic-conscious leaders and modern-day change agents in their own chosen path. The Academy will offer short-term online courses, workshops on specific real-world governance challenges, as it leverages technology to bring the brightest minds from across the world to the youth of Kerala.

A key reason for Kerala’s success in responding to 2018, 2019 floods and containment of COVID19 has been the participation of the community, especially the young, in the rescue and relief efforts. At the local level, the presence of civic conscious volunteers and capable young elected leaders made a significant difference in the quality of governance and response to the crisis.

To strengthen the relationship between the state and youth, it was clear that a platform for learning and exploration was need of the hour. The idea of an online Youth Leadership Academy emerged from that organic felt need and as a reward to the youth for their pioneering support to governance in times of need.

Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India’s satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India’s “Rohini” satellite into orbit by 1980. By 1979 — I think the month was August — we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts — I had four or five of them with me, told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal. It was a big failure.
That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure — he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.
The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite — and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, “You conduct the press conference today.”
I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

“ Take up one idea ; make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success”
