There are scads of scepticism about the political upheavals in Nepal. In the midst of the citizens' distrust on the politicians, youths are advocating to bring a positive change in the country. In no particular order, I hand picked 5 youth-led initiatives striving to reconstruct the country.

Nepal Unites
Although the page looks relatively quiet for now, this was one of the first initiatives raised via social media to prompt citizens to take action for the betterment of the country. This campaign attracted youths from overseas to pressure the diplomats in those countries to draft the constitution.
BibekSheel Nepali
BibekSheel is a political force to transform Nepal built by youths. 4 members of the organisation stood up as candidates in the last Constituent Assembly election. They were not able to secure a seat in the Constituent Assembly but gained a spiking number of votes within a small timescale. For the love of dogs, visit Bibeksheel Nepali.
YUWA
YUWA is established as a non-profit organisation and aims to increase participation of youths through empowerment and advocacy. Some of the issues that are addressed by YUWA are active citizenship and ''Glocal'' information access. Looking at their work, there cannot be a better time for youths to be in Nepal than now.
Bichardabali
This is an open platform for people to express opinions on Nepal’s socio-economic and political issues. As the writing space is open to anyone, the blog is unbiased in terms of political views. Whether you are a writer, a reader or a procrastinator, Bichardabali will stimulate your thirst for knowledge.
Nepal ko Yuwa
Nepal ko Yuwa is a fellowship led by youths living in Nepal and abroad. So no matter which part of the world you are in, this organisation aims to give an opportunity to come together to solve the critical problems of Nepal.
If you are not part of any of the above listed initiatives, its never too late to get involved and play your part.
