During the one-day CWC meeting, significant discussions took place on relevant topics related to education and social issues. Five key resolutions, to be presented at the 70th ABVP National Conference, were deeply deliberated upon. These issues include enhancing the quality of education in academic institutions, addressing fee hike issues, tackling the issue of adulterated food products, India’s increasing influence on international platforms, and the violence in Manipur. These five resolutions will be passed during the ABVP National Conference from 22 to 24 November.
ABVP National President, Dr. Rajsharan Shahi, stated, “Gorakhpur is a land of valor. The brave people of Gorakhpur have made significant contributions to Bharat’s Independence movement. The city holds immense significance in political, spiritual, and cultural contexts. The ‘Nath’ sect has played a pivotal role in fostering social harmony across the nation. To make Bharatiya education affordable and accessible, effective measures need to be taken. Inclusive and accessible education will enable even the most underprivileged students to excel. This ABVP CWC meeting will pave the way for positive change.”
ABVP National General Secretary, Yagywalkya Shukla stated, “ABVP karyakartas are working across the country to bring about positive transformations. The youth of Bharat, brimming with hope and potential, will act as the harbinger of constructive change. Immediate joint efforts by the central and the state governments are necessary to restore peace in Manipur. Gorakhpur, as a center of intellect and ideology, has often guided the nation. This ABVP National Conference, in Gorakhpur, will drive the change through Bharat-centric ideology under the leadership of the country’s students.”
