and employment of a democratic approach towards solving problems and developing selfless motivation towards service guided by values. The YIDDD functions through three Committees: (a) Community Welfare Committee (promote agricultural production and local industries to reduce import of food items with a long term target aligned with that of the government on achieving self-sufficiency); (b) Social Justice Committee (Proposal for National Policy for Disability); and (c) Education Committee (Proposal for the establishment of National Teaching Council of Bhutan). The youth leadership program of the YDF which functions through the Y-VIA works on enhancing youth participation and provides young people with the opportunities to gain self-esteem through leadership trainings and participation in community well being projects. Other youth forums that have been established by government and non-government organisations as well as through initiatives of the youth themselves include the Bhutan Scouts Association, Tarayana Youth Clubs and the Go-Youth-Go. The Go-Youth-Go which was established as an informal youth organisation has now become the youth wing of the Youth Media Centre (YMC) Youth members take ownership of their community by taking effective developmental interventions on identified identifying problems. The YMC also operates a 24 hour service helpline for youth in need of guidance and a Green Youth Cafe for those youth facing substance abuse and other issues. Bhutanese children are also represented on the SAIEVAC Governing Board, serving as member on the SAIEVAC Governing Board in 2011 and currently as observers. The rights of children in difficult circumstances and children in conflict with the law to be heard have also been addressed under the CCPA and its Rules and Regulations. These legal documents clearly provide for children to record statements separately, and also the rights of children to be provided with information on the legal process and legal representation. Furthermore, rights of children to participate in decisions affecting them have also been clearly reinforced in the CCPA and its Rules and Regulations. Other legislations like the CAA also make it a requirement for children who are placed for adoption to be counselled and their independent views concerning the adoption are to be sought and given due consideration. The Marriage Act gives children after the age of nine to take a decision to live with either parent. The RBP has also initiated the development of an online forum for members of the PYPP and POYPP to actively engage in discussions on laws and other issues affecting them.
