From its first year in service to date, AMYA has been busy in educating its younger members, training its members in various moral duties and outreaching to others. AMYA has also been forefront in standing up for humanity by doing various schemes like blood donation sessions, hospital visits, outreach for individuals without homes, visiting the senior citizens and the environment.
