The Student
Council of Hans Raj Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Jalandhar, under the initiative
of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and the able guidance of the Principal, Dr. (Mrs.) Ekta Khosla, celebrated National Youth Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda Ji.
On this occasion, a webinar on the theme
“Viksit Bharat – Role of Youth”
was organized to sensitize students towards their role in nation-building. The
distinguished resource person for the webinar was Mrs. Seema Mishra, President, Mahila Haat Society, a national-level organization working in the field
of women and youth empowerment. The programme commenced with the virtual lighting of the ceremonial lamp, symbolizing the triumph of knowledge over ignorance,
followed by the DAV Gaan, in keeping with the rich traditions and values of
the institution. Dr. Urvashi Mishra,
Dean, Student Council, formally
welcomed the gathering and extended a warm welcome to the Principal, the
resource person, faculty members, and students. She highlighted the relevance
of celebrating National Youth Day and emphasized the significance of youth
participation in realizing the vision of a developed India. In her insightful
address, Mrs. Seema Mishra motivated the students to become job creators rather than job seekers. She elaborated on the role of youth in achieving the
goals of Mission Viksit Bharat
@2047, stating that Viksit
Bharat is not merely a government policy but a clear call to action for the youth of the nation. She emphasized that national development begins with
individual responsibility, ranging from simple acts like maintaining
cleanliness to actively helping others. According to her, meaningful change
must first begin within oneself for the nation to develop in its true sense.
She further remarked that Hans
Raj Mahila Mahavidyalaya has never been an institution that only confers
degrees, but has consistently
served as a strong platform for character
building, self-confidence, leadership development and social responsibility. Principal Dr. (Mrs.) Ekta Khosla appreciated the efforts of the Student Council for
organizing a meaningful programme. She emphasized that the youth are the
backbone of the nation and must imbibe the ideals of Swami Vivekananda Ji in
their lives. She encouraged students to use their education not only for
personal growth but also for contributing positively to society and the nation.
Her words of motivation further inspired the students to work with dedication,
integrity, and social responsibility. On the occasion, an online quiz competition based on the theme was also conducted for students, making the session
engaging and interactive. Students actively participated and shared their views
on the role of youth in shaping the future of the nation. The programme
witnessed the gracious presence of Dr.
Anjana Bhatia, IQAC Coordinator, Mrs. Savita Mahendru, Co-Dean Student Council, and other council faculty members including Mr. Pardeep Mehta, Dr. Kajal Puri, Dr. Jiwan Devi, Ms. Jyotika
Minhas and Ms. Harmanu. The
programme concluded with a vote
of thanks presented by the Head Girl of the college, Gurleen Channa, who expressed gratitude to the Principal, the
resource person, faculty members, and students for their valuable participation
and support. The entire programme was smoothly moderated by Dr. Urvashi Mishra.
