Youth must work collectively to build strong Viksit Bharat: J&K LG

In Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha interacted with the youth from North-Eastern states at the Jammu Convention Centre yesterday. Our Correspondent reports that the youth are visiting Jammu under ABVP’s Students’ Experience in Inter-State Living (SEIL) initiative. The LG called upon them to work collectively to build a strong Viksit Bharat. Mr Sinha said he wants the youth to focus on the needs and aspirations of weaker and vulnerable sections of society so that they can participate in the development process and contribute to all-round progress. 

The LG said he is extremely proud that as the world’s largest student organization, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, since its inception, is making a significant contribution to strengthening the spirit of



unity and brotherhood by eliminating geographical distance and has connected the youth with the cultural roots of India. The LG also spoke on the development journey of North-East States, paid tributes to the prominent personalities from North-East states, and recalled their contribution to nation-building. 

He further asked the visiting youth to be the ambassadors of the new Jammu Kashmir. This year, under the SEIL initiative, 30 students from Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Assam, Tripura, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim visited Jammu and each student got the opportunity to live as a member of a local family. The Lieutenant Governor also felicitated the host families where the young delegates stayed during the tour.
