What does freedom mean to India's youth today?
170 students at Akal University stood up to answer that question.
On August 14, to mark India's 80th Independence Day, the Department of Liberal Arts and NSS Unit organised a declamation competition: "Yuvak Shakti: Virasat Ton Vikas Tak" โ Youth Power: From Heritage to Development.
S. Akashbir Singh opened the event. He spoke about why Independence Day still matters, and why youth are key to India's growth.
Students then took the stage. They spoke on two themes: the role of youth in India's progress, and what citizens of a free India owe to the vision of 2047.
Dr. Gurtek Singh, HOD of Liberal Arts, closed the event with a message on civic duty. Every participant received a certificate.
Faculty present included Dr. Janpreet Singh, Dr. Sukhdarshan Singh, Ms. Manpreet Kaur, and Miss Amritpal Kaur.
Heritage brought them here. Their words are shaping what comes next.
