Planning Commission of Pakistan is a public policy development institute of the Pakistan Government, currently functioning under the Ministry of Planning and Development. By opening up its chapters in the universities across the country, the Planning Commission, through the aid of YDC aims to interact directly with the students enrolled in various universities of Pakistan. These youngsters are the
intellectual/social capital of country.Their ideas and view points on various policies and projects would enable the Planning commission to revitalize itself as a premier development think tank with input from talented and ambitious young minds.It will also allow the students to become economically productive through applying their skills towards solving developmental problems at state level through an established university platform. The key objective of the Project is to directly involve youth in the socio-economic development of Pakistan and generate a citizen feedback system that prioritizes issues and shapes the paradigm in which all actors can act together in a cohesively productive manner. YDC would be established as a decentralized body consisting of several tiers i.e. the Planning Commission, assigned Young Development Fellows, industrial linkages'/liaison offices of selected universities, selected Campus Ambassadors and selected YDC members.
