In the landscape of youth empowerment and community development, Pravin Ramakrishnan is emerging as a beacon of dedication, discipline, and impactful leadership. As the President of the Malaysia Indian Youth Council (MIYC) Kuantan), Pravin has been instrumental in steering numerous initiatives focused on shaping the future of young Malaysians — and 2025 marks a significant milestone in his journey.

This year, Pravin proudly brought home two major accolades that reflect both his personal dedication and the collective strength of his team:

1. First Runner-Up (Naib Johan) in the Anugerah Perdana Belia Negara Peringkat Negeri Pahang – Individual (Male) Category

2. Champion (Johan) in Pertubuhan Belia 2025 awarded to MIYC Kuantan

These recognitions are not just awards — they are affirmations of years of consistent service, community engagement, and the vision to empower youth through meaningful, well-structured programs.

Humble Beginnings, Purposeful Vision

Pravin’s foray into youth development began during his student life at Universiti Malaysia Sabah. It was there that he first encountered MIYC, introduced to him by Tuan Danesh Basil, President of the Malaysian Indian Youth Council. What started as involvement in student activities quickly grew into a deep-rooted passion for youth welfare and leadership development.

Today, Pravin stands tall as a leader who has translated that passion into real change. He credits Tuan Danesh for not only introducing him to this path but also for the trust and mentorship offered throughout the years.

Strength in Support and Teamwork

While Pravin has taken on leadership roles with confidence, he is quick to recognize the people who have supported his journey. He extends heartfelt gratitude to Tuan Anbalagan Devar, who has stood beside him as a mentor and unwavering source of support through every phase of his leadership path.

He also acknowledges the vital contributions of his team — Subesh Kailasam, Sri Gayathri, Mahendran, Jayshree, and the entire MIYC Kuantan Committee — whose dedication and teamwork have been the backbone of their organizational success. According to Pravin, their shared passion and relentless efforts were key to winning the Pertubuhan Belia 2025 state-level award.

A Legacy in the Making

Pravin’s story is one of sincere commitment to the community, empowered teamwork, and visionary youth leadership. His journey is not only inspiring but a powerful reminder that impactful change begins with those who are willing to serve with heart and humility.

As he continues to lead MIYC Kuantan into greater heights, Pravin Ramakrishnan is setting the standard for what modern youth leadership in Malaysia can look like — bold, inclusive, and deeply rooted in purpose.
