The Founding Story of Angry Youth NGO-

At the age of 17 in 2011 he went to Cyber Cafe to check out his Intermediate CBSE board exam result, but the destiny had a different plan for him and perhaps that's why unfortunately he got failed in mathematics. Instead of his home he went directly to the railway station to avoid his father's anger and disappointing reaction and spent his entire day there.

According to him he felt suicidal till the noon, but then the scenes his eyes observed there just changed his whole life and his vision towards life. He saw the Homeless children living at railway station were hungry and struggling for the food. They did not even have clothes on their bodies and their conditions were so pathetic that it made him to think about them at emotional level. Most of the parents were handicapped and helpless.

There were even people having maggots in their heads and wounds. All these terrific things made him realize that the real problem of life was not the one he was dealing with but rather the one with which those people were dealing with. He went to his house after this but the above incident had given him a purpose for his life i.e., helping the needy and working for their welfare. The Aim which was going to relieve not only the needy but also the Heart and Soul of Pallu Gupta.
