Firstly, there was significant enthusiasm within the Church, both in Kerala and nationally, generated by discussions and study programs related to the Second Vatican Council.

Among the topics discussed, the role of the laity in the Church's life became a major point of interest for laypeople across India.

Secondly, in Kerala, Christian communities, alongside other social and religious organizations, opposed the educational policies of the second communist regime in 1967.

This unity was further solidified with the establishment of a youth commission under Cyril Baselios, then Bishop of the Bathery Diocese, in 1989, leading to the formation of the MCYM Central Secretariat in 1990.

The central secretariat also initiated steps to enhance youth activities, bringing together mission regions scattered across India, North America,[14] Germany, and the Middle East (including Kuwait, Dubai,[15] Sharjah[16] and Qatar[16]).
