The capabilities of the present cohort of adolescents will define the character and strength of our country for years to come, and therefore it is an urgent task to empower this group. Analysing the three dimensions of empowering adolescents, viz. education, health and citizenship, this volume brings together papers from academic scholars and voluntary organisations that constructively address these challenges and suggest viable solutions. These papers deserve serious attention of all those concerned with the growth and development of adolescents.
