‘We will continue ZYNG’ing’
For 7 years ZYNG has served society and our community, working tirelessly for the positive growth of our community youth. We are now the largest youth body of our community anywhere in the world, encompassing more than four thousand youth between the ages of 15 – 40. Despite what some say we are an apolitical body and we at team ZYNG feel that it was not just our duty but our privilege and pleasure to work as a binding force for our community youth. We as committee members also had the good fortune of growing as independent individuals in thought and spirit as well as, as a team. Over the years we have had over a hundred events ranging from professional and personal development for the youth, to Social service, to getting couples together, to sports activities, etc, to name a few. A tremendous number of man hours, effort and personal sacrifices have been put in to achieve what we believe is a tremendous platform for the youth to intermingle.
Each committee member of ZYNG has been striving hard to create this brand keeping aside their personal opinions and working to their full capacities. These core committee members past and present have taken time out from the personal and professional lives to give back to the community in their own unique way. Our belief of serving a cause greater then ourselves was one of the common goals we shared as ZYNG core committee members.
The ZYNG Team is dedicated to raising awareness, encouraging participation and getting YOU involved with your community through our events. We have conducted over a hundred events in the past, to name a few:

When we heard that, “BPP Cuts it’s Cord with ZYNG”, the entire ZYNG committee felt that it would have been prudent for the Trustees to have called for another meeting to discuss any misunderstanding or issues that troubled them, before taking such a drastic decision. We were also surprised to read that a statement was made that ZYNG has spent 1 crore of the BPP’s charity funds for its activities. We feel that this is not an accurate representation, as ZYNG has raised funds for conducting its events over the years; also not all events of ZYNG are free. We have always consciously ensured that we don’t utilize the annual 10 Lakh budget that was allotted to us.
We hope that the elected trustees of the BPP realize that the same, over 50 Individuals who have been and are currently part of the ZYNG core committee of their own accord come forth to serve this community. Respect being a two way street, we will strive to honor our message of peace, togetherness and harmony, which is the need of the hour in this small community of ours.
We look forward to ZYNG’ing along with you into the bright future the youth has to offer.
Team ZYNG
