’Youth play a pivotal role in shaping nation’s destiny’
SILCHAR, August 25: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) organized a day–long students’ meet in the premises of Kalyan Ashram here today. Dr Sankar Bhattacharjee, former principal of Women’s College, graced the occasion as the chief guest and Srihari Borikar, national secretary of ABVP was present as the guest of honour.
Addressing the assembly of students, ABVP national secretary said that only youth can bring the change in the country and can eradicate “corruption” from every sphere of life. He said that the “wrong policy” and “misrule” of the government have pushed the common man into the brink of destitution and poverty.
He was of the view that the youth in particular were the future of the country and the way in which they develop their physical, mental and moral qualities would determine the fate of the nation. The national secretary reminded that India would soon become the youngest country in the world and youth would play a pivotal role in shaping the nation.
Dr Sankar Bhattacharjee said that the youth of this country should not forget that they are the inheritors of a great cultural heritage. He advised the students to imbibe the quality education to lead the nation in a better way.
According to him, when the people deviated from the tradition and the age–old principles, the country faced several problems leading to external subjugation and internal chaos. He asked the students’ community to come forward to serve the interest of the society as well as the country.
Among others present on the occasion included Sishu Ranjan Das, State executive member, north east zone, Dr Sanjib Bhattachrjee, State president, northeast zone, etc.
Later, the Silchar local committee was formed with Pintu Lal Dey as the president, Rajarshi Nath and Kalipada Das as vice–presidents, and others.
