The DM Youth organizing committee yearly awards the "DM Youth Leaders in the Community Scholarship" to a deserving individual within the GTA Hindu community. This scholarship will be a $1000 grant which will be given for the purposes of post secondary education.
DM Youth was founded on the basis of creating unity within the Hindu community in the GTA and Canada. The group is committed to this founding principal and awarding this scholarship is a way for DM Youth to give back to the community which has instilled the values of faith, unity and education in its organizers as well as being a means to promote and foster the talent and skills of young Hindus.

On Saturday May 17, 2008, DM Youth held its second annual talent show: Desi Explosion 2008. The event, having been hailed as a great success in 2007, was much anticipated and did not disappoint.
The audience was awed as a multitude of young performers each took the stage, showcasing a diverse range of talents. Performances included a semiclassical sitar/vocal/tabla medley, a dynamic fusion of martial arts and music, as well as a variety of captivating dances and vocal pieces. A number of performers and talents such as the highly-acclaimed comedic antics of Rajin Ramkissoon, returned with new acts for this year’s show.
The event was a major success, and this year it served a two-fold purpose. Unifying the Hindu youth community has always been a goal of DM Youth. With the success of yet another Desi Explosion event, this goal was one step closer to being realized. In addition, part of the proceeds from the show went to the charitable organization Plan Canada. On behalf of the DM Youth, Plan Canada will sponsor a needy child in India.

DM Youth would like to extend its most heartfelt wishes of joy to each and every one of you this Diwali season.
Diwali has arrived this year within weeks of Canadian Thanksgiving and it also calls for us to count our blessings. It asks us to look to the future not only with a hopeful eye, but to be mindful of what can be done to create a prosperous future for our families. The future may bring more opportunity for DM Youth to reach many lives in our communities, within the temple and within itself. None of it could be possible without the support of Devi Mandir, of our volunteers, and of the youth of the Devi Mandir.
DM Youth has been blessed with four years of growing prosperity and good fortune. It has created a framework for great things in the Hindu community for our youth. This year, unfortunately, there was no “Leaders in the Community” scholarship awarded. This was not through lack of funds, but lack of interest. The most trying aspect of DM Youth’s activities is maintaining interest from year to year, event to event. We will strive in the months to come to build momentum towards our common goal; of a vibrant Hindu community with strong youth to build our future.
