The Mar Thoma Yuvajana Sakhyam was formed with a view that all young people in the Church should accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and bear witness to his saving power. It was organised in 1933 by a resolution of the Sabha Prathinidhi Mandalam. Branches of the Sakhyam were set up in the Parishes with a four-fold programme of worship, study, witness and service.
