The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme was established by the UN General Assembly (GA) in December 1970 through resolution 2659 (XXV). UNV began operations in January 1971, administered by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). UNV partners with UN agencies, governments and civil society organizations to advocate for volunteerism, integrate volunteerism into peace and development interventions and mobilize UN Volunteers and community volunteers. Until 2009, UNV India Programme was one of the largest, with more than 250 National UN Volunteers serving various projects of United Nations. In 2012, 3 International and 70 National UN Volunteers served in India. Areas of work of UN Volunteers in India has been on a wide range of issues i.e.: decentralized district planning, capacity development of elected representatives, support to UNHCR operations for refugee status determination, disaster risk reduction plans at local levels, environmental sustainability, and HIV related issues etc. In the context of increasing the attention of the international community to volunteerism and its contribution to the work of the UN System, UNV launched a Strategic Framework for 2014-2017. Within this Strategic Framework, UNV has developed a comprehensive Youth Volunteering Strategy (YVS) to promote youth volunteerism and youth voice, in line with its long history of youth volunteerism, and in alignment with the UN Secretary-General's Call for Action and Five-Year Action Agenda in 2012. Further taking cognizance of the National Youth Policy (2014), the UNV Global Youth Volunteer Programme and UN Youth Volunteering Strategy, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MoYAS), Government of India and UNV have been working together to provide catalytic support to the Youth Volunteer Schemes of MoYAS to facilitate youth participation and voice in peace and sustainable development programmes, towards realization of their full social, economic, and human potential.
