Introduction
The present educational experiences fail to appeal our adolescent youth, motivate them and are the least meaningful to their lives. Lack of fruitful education,distinctly appears to be one of the reasons,causing the entire world to suffer, from the ill effects of youth committed terrorism, sex abuse, drug addiction, crimes (WHO, 2006) and violence.Empathy is a component of communication and can only be improved with appropriate training. It allows to understand the intention of others, predict their behaviour and experience an emotion triggered by their emotions.(Yadav and Iqbal, )If we relate ourselves to the seemingly disadvantaged, challenged and deprived in community it does instil some awakening and realization about our self-worth.(Bong and Skaalvik, 2003) keeping this in mind the researcher has attempted to develop a program of community service for Std. XI students. The researcher had developed and implemented this program to awaken empathy in Std. XI students. The purpose of this paper is to compare the impact of this youth program on the empathy levels of Std. XI boys and girls. Copyright Š 2017, Scholarly Research Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies
