Within a short span of 2 years, this Self Development Circle(as it was known earlier) evolved to around 250-300 youth participants. In 1992, to facilitate the growing need of structure, they formally set up an organisation and fondly named it ‘Oasis-a university of Love, Life & Friendship for youth’.
