"THE MANTHAN" : National symposium on National<br />

Security & Role of Youth inaugurated on 12th January,<br />

<strong>2009</strong> by Former governor of Assam and Jammu and<br />

Kashmir Shri S.K. Sinha and Former Director of C.B.I.<br />

Shri Joginder Singh.<br />

Apart from Shri S.K. Sinha and Shri Joginder Singh other dignitaries<br />

present on the occasion were Former MP and chairman Seed Certification<br />

Shri Balraj Pasi, Shri Manoj Joshi (Chairman Shikhar Group), Vice Chancellor<br />

Dr. B. S. Bisht, Dean Dr. G.K.Singh and Dean Student Welfare Dr. A. K. Karnatak.<br />

"aane wala kal kahega,<br />

har kadam ki Dastaan."<br />

This beautiful song presented by the students of the <strong>Vivekanand</strong>a <strong>Swadhyay</strong> <strong>Mandal</strong> team members,<br />

motivating and understanding the youth power. Vice Chancellor sir welcomed the guests by giving bouque.<br />

Dean Student Welfare Dr. A. K. Karnatak , welcomed all the dignitaries and youth Delegates from various<br />

universities and colleges.


Our Mentor and Guide Dr. B. Kumar Sir formally introduced symposium "MANTHAN" to the Youth<br />

delegates. He said that Universities are not made by machines, motors or bricks and mud, but by conscious<br />

youth. Youth should be ready to hold all national and social responsibilities. "Who will work to sensitize youth if<br />

not Universities", he asked.<br />

"Terrorism: The human face"- the presentation displayed on the occasion depicted how the youth is<br />

affected by the terrorism & violence.<br />

"Is bar Ghawo ko Dekhna hoga Gaur Se."<br />

(This time, we have to observe the wounds very closely. This was something that I had decided.)<br />

The presentation also depicted the concrete<br />

determination of youth towards National Security.<br />

REMARKS :<br />

Shri Balraj Pasi<br />

Shri Balraj Pasi came to the stage and stormed the hall with his spirited, motivating voice. He provided a clear<br />

picture of roots of terrorism prevailing in India and gave various examples to differentiate between the situation<br />

of ours and other countries.<br />

"Is bar yahee tay kiya hai"<br />

He said that ,in 1993, in a bomb blast in Rudrapur ,60 people were killed and it was the biggest blast in<br />

India till then. But now, blasts have become part of our life. When bombs blasted in LONDON, the whole of<br />

LONDON


came on track only after 1 hour of the incident. But our situation is different. If we choose so, we will be<br />

having greater problems.<br />

He said "The London police said in front of media that we will shoot directly on chest rather than on legs.<br />

Has Indian diplomacy this guts to pronounce such direct statement? Unless 9/11 happened , India was looking<br />

towards America for support on terrorism, but they never responded. But only after 9/11 when WTC was<br />

bombed, America accepted terrorism as the world's most horrible problem.<br />

REMARKS: Shri Manoj Joshi<br />

The war against terror is continued simultaneously from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Our neighbor dislikes<br />

our progress. The people at the roots of terrorism make innocent youth believe that they have come to the world<br />

for this war and portray terrorism as very special purpose. They have come to throw their lives on the name of<br />

religion.<br />

The Media is not working properly and responsibly. We are providing them undue weight age. In Mumbai<br />

case, the live transmission helped the terrorists in taking great positions during firing.<br />

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Shri Joginder Singh<br />

Lack of Government will and Policies<br />

1. When ten terrorists killed two hundred people, the government messages that we will wait for 3-4 days.<br />

2. In 2003, Russia killed 130 chiaschin rebels through filling poisonous gas in the building.<br />

3. In Mumbai terror case, what media did was helping the terrorists directly. For three days, terrorists and their<br />

masters in Karachi were observing all police force activities on Television and we could not restrain. We should<br />

have stopped that.<br />

4. In Jammu & Kashmir we used money as well as discussion but everything in vain. He criticized the approach<br />

and handling of Amarnath Shrine Board case by the local government.<br />

What can General Citizen do?<br />

• We do not have a clear policy to combat terror.<br />

• There are 50,000 CCTV in New York, but in Srinagar, there are none. Even the experiment of removing the<br />

loudspeakers from Masjids was dropped under pressure.<br />

• Welfare societies can put CCTV's in high risk, high density points.<br />

• Every citizen has to be a soldier. They can become a soldier of the nation by training and physical fitness.<br />

That will pave results.


• Terrorists also obtain information and help from local people. No terrorist from Pakistan can directly come and<br />

plant bombs anywhere in India. So there is also a failure on the part of general people in destroying the sleeper<br />

cells of the terrorists.<br />

• People should keep continuous pressure on government. When pressurized , the government will definitely<br />

work.<br />

• Now, the technology is so advanced that we can monitor every single feet of our borders. So why not to use<br />

them to guard the border which is not secured? It requires only 200-300 crore.<br />

• Police forces usually do not have proper arms. So provide them with forces weapon instead of money.<br />

• In our counts, 10 crore people are waiting for justice- 48000 cases in Supreme Court, 32 lakhs in local counts.<br />

What to talk of quick actions- The trial of Bombay Blast case 1993 went on for 13 years. According to law<br />

commission we must have 50 judges per 1 million people. But we have only 9.5 judge per 1 million people!<br />

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: SHRI S. K. SINHA<br />

Shri S. K. Sinha shared his valuable experiences with the youth delegates. He said that he has been a<br />

policeman of the country. He served in army for 40 years & as governor of state for 11 years. He has a lifelong<br />

experience dealing with terror.<br />

He said that terrorism can be bifurcated in two parts. One of them is the terrorism against vulnerable<br />

masses, which is the terrorism of strong against weak. But nowadays terror has assumed new shape i.e.,<br />

terrorism spurred by comparatively weaker masses against strong.<br />

He differentiated terrorism from insurgency. Shri S. K. Sinha said that insurgency is the weapon of<br />

weak against strong lead by a charismatic leader mobilizing the people to achieve soft targets. He gave examples<br />

of Shivaji mobilizing people against the Muslim rulers to save culture, religion and state. He also sited Mao Se<br />

Tung, who established communism in China.<br />

'The acceptable methods under terrorism are hijacking, hostages and killing innocent people and all is fair<br />

in terrorism', he said.<br />

Terrorism in India can be defined in three broad categories:<br />

1. Secessionism<br />

2. Jihad<br />

3. Revolutionary


In Assam the people were tribesmen and backward at the time of freedom. They find it difficult to<br />

intermingle with rest of Indian culture due to different races and ethnics etc.<br />

Whereas, Pakistan thinks that they still have the genome of middle castes conquerors that defeated<br />

India repeatedly. Bhutto in London talked about 1000 yrs old India. Then Zia-ul-haq came. He was a military<br />

man. He realized that India cannot be defeated by military. And so, the resultant terrorism. J & k has had a<br />

low intensity fight.<br />

In Assam we used two approaches. We reformed a combined force resulting into results. We also tried a<br />

psychological approaches. We won hearts.<br />

In J & K there were 40% Hindu and other religions, 20% non-fundamentalist bakarwals which are<br />

Muslims by religion and 40% fundamentalist Muslims. Each was to be tackled in different way. He also talked<br />

about Amaranth issue. He said that as a chairman of Amaranth shrine board I requested the government to<br />

give land 3 years ago in 2005. In 2008 government provided the land for 8 months. The area is totally barren.<br />

We proposed that for 2 months the area will be used by shrine board and for 2 months it will be used by the<br />

government and even the high court gave the permission. But the issue was unnecessarily politicized. They<br />

said that shrine board is going to habilitate Hindus in 100 acres of land. Who will live there in such inhabitable<br />

conditions? They even do not let the 3 lakh Kashmiri migrant pundits to come back to Kashmir.<br />

He talked about 4 P's to tackle terrorism:<br />

1. Political will<br />

2. Professionalism<br />

3. Peoples co-operation<br />

4. Propaganda on media<br />

POLITICS<br />

1. The vote bank politics in Assam is giving ways to insurgency. The political will is lacking.<br />

2. We have been blackmailed by Pakistan using the nuclear cast. We cannot do anything against him.<br />

3. But in Bangladesh, there is no nuclear threat but still we do not take offensive action.<br />

PROFESSIONALISM<br />

1. NG took 9 hr. to go to Mumbai because the plane was not available.<br />

2. What happened to the bullet proof jacket of Hemant Karkare ? Why did he not use any bullet proof<br />

car also? Why not to rely on latest and most sophisticated technologies?


MEDIA PROPAGANDA<br />

As has been said, Media is the oxygen of terrorists . Even our national press is keeping secularism on sleeves<br />

and that I would say is very dangerous.<br />

VICE CHANCELLOR'S ADDRESS<br />

We have the capacity to service in odds. The need is to contain the terror at grass root level. Youth mass has to<br />

be characterized to be more patriotic. He correctly described the power of youth by saying<br />

"<strong>Yuva</strong> wah haii jo yug ki dhara ko modne main Samarth hai."<br />

The president VSM Dr. G. K. Singh gave the vote of thanks to the dignitaries.<br />

“Pyarra hai wo sama ,vo sama ki kasam”<br />

Dharti se nafrat mita denge hum”<br />

With this song depicting the resolution of the participants, the walls of the Ratan Singh auditorium once again<br />

contained the scintillating strength of youth.<br />

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Shri Prakash Singh<br />

His experiences as DGP,UP<br />

When he was the DGP of UP, there was problem of terror in Tarai. It was not that only terrorists who fled from<br />

Punjab came here but there were local terrorists as well. Swarna Mandir in Nainital was the hub of terrorists.<br />

Eventually they invited him in the Gurudwara. He was dumbstruck and even Home Ministry declined it straight<br />

ward. But still he went there. There were about 15000 Sikhs in the Gurudwara , when he entered. There he<br />

gave his speech. He told them that if any law is illegally used against anybody he will be protected. Even he<br />

himself recommended freeing some people charged with TADA. The message went to whole Punjab. It became<br />

turning point in the fight against terror.<br />

In 1992, the terrorists decided and floated a circular to kill him. He took it in humour and continued his<br />

fight against terrorism.


His views on Naxalism<br />

• Starting naxal leaders were legendary. They fought for naxal rights. Bum Pataku Satyanarayna and Naga<br />

Bhushan Patnayak were among those legends. Naga Bhushan Patnayak was a lawyer. Whole life he fought the<br />

cases of poor people.<br />

• Naxal activism is suffering from Ideological Bankruptcy.<br />

• Now the naxal movement has taken an anti-national shape , affecting 13 states.<br />

• They do not let government to build roads, schools etc. for the fear of army.<br />

Once Prakash Singh Ji wrote an open letter to naxalites and invited them for discussion. But<br />

unfortunately the meeting didn’t happened.<br />

His reflections on Jammu & Kashmir issue<br />

• We have to be watchful that how much freedom we can give to Kashmir. Freedom to an extent is right.<br />

• The government do not make a proper strategy so that it can do anything it likes to do. Such as they left<br />

terrorists in Kandhar hijack case.<br />

• Starting from Kashmir, terrorism has covered whole nation. That is mostly due to our own misleading<br />

policies.<br />

What a common citizen can do?<br />

We being citizens of India must believe in our country and culture.<br />

We must use our Right to vote properly.<br />

The need of the hour is to relate with the Nation rather than distorted, selfish ends.<br />

We must express our voices and feelings against anything that is antinational.


When we criticize others (politicians etc.) we must make sure that we should too avoid anything corrupt or<br />

malicious in our life.<br />

We must act as eyes for the security of the Nation. Networking is needed.<br />

We must respect our security forces and keep the motivation level of the security forces high.<br />

We must stay positive and believe in our ideals.<br />

We must rise over fear psychosis.<br />

We need to be more vigilant and observant. Everybody should be alert of their surroundings and they<br />

should inform to police if they found some susceptive activity.<br />

Open Session<br />

The very objective of this symposium was to materialize the roles and responsibilities at our end to fight<br />

terrorism in our day to day lives. What government should do and is doing is a part of spectrum that lies<br />

outside our domain, unless some of us are really interested in joining politics, army or intelligence in future.<br />

But currently, we need to hold ourselves accountable and responsible as representatives of the ‘voice of the<br />

youth of India’. So, this session was all about honest fixation of roles/responsibilities at our ends . The youth<br />

delegates gave their creative & practical ideas, some of which are:<br />

• Campaigning in our periphery such as your college, campus.<br />

• We must have a proper knowledge of the subject and should determine the root cause.<br />

• Necessary defence training must be given to citizens.<br />

• Using Emergency numbers such as police station, ambulance etc.<br />

• Proliferation of unity among youth.


• Everyone should take a stand against corruption.<br />

• Respect our security forces.<br />

• Intermingle with neighbours and build social networking.<br />

• Be fearless and combat fear psychology.<br />

• Create personal campaign.<br />

• Networking using technology.<br />

• Expression of views against any anti national issues through newspapers, blogs, etc.<br />

Platform Session<br />

The platform, for which such a great Mahayagna was organised, was in front of us now. The youth delegates<br />

were ready with their resolutions. But these were not just resolutions, they were cries of the pains deep<br />

buried within hearts. And one heart wasn’t able to hold them anymore and he shouted:<br />

“ Marte hai sabhi, tab kaun karib hota hai,<br />

Maro to shahid ki maut, tiranga to nasib hota hai.”<br />

Some of the personal convictions taken by youth delegates were:<br />

• I will stop the propagation of terrorism through web and social networking sites.<br />

• I will not speak ill of my country.<br />

• I will mobilise the youth.<br />

• I will be a part of the administration.


• I will vote the right person and encourage others to do so.<br />

• I will get physically trained for any difficult situation.<br />

• I will not go abroad after my studies.<br />

• I will reply to the editors of the newspapers.<br />

• I will work for the rural men.<br />

• To change the system you need to be a part of it so , I will love to be a politician.<br />

• I will take responsibility of a child.<br />

• I will propagate message of nationalism and need for security.<br />

10 POINT CHARTER FOR THE GOVERNMENT<br />

We prepared a 10 point charter which was signed by all participants of the symposium, to be send to the<br />

government .This charter was a call of youth voice for national security.<br />

• Government must be accountable to the citizens with regards to national security.<br />

• Blame game must stop. All political parties must stand together against security threat in any form.<br />

• Strengthen the intelligence agencies, provide them more autonomy.<br />

• A very specific security plan must be put in place, and routine review is needed.<br />

• State governments must not ignore security concerns, a unified central policing system should be put<br />

in place.<br />

• Terror laws should be made without keeping in mind any community or religion.<br />

• National Identity Cards for Indian citizens should be made available.


• Exhaustive use of technology to strengthen security, such as CCTV camera.<br />

• Survival Training Program and mass campaign for the citizens must be promoted.<br />

• Proper Coordination amongst the Defense, Home and Foreign ministry.


‘9/11 or 26/11 are not the dates when it started, its roots are deep<br />

down. It is prevailing since time immemorial ,and we- the youth of our<br />

country, need to be alert enough<br />

to confront and win. We should be<br />

sensitive enough to sustain the<br />

impact of the wound, the cry, the<br />

blood and havoc all around….and<br />

the deep impact of a teasing silence<br />

after destruction… .’<br />

With this motto in mind the exhibition<br />

on ‘National Security and Youth’, was displayed at the lawn of Ratan<br />

Singh auditorium on 12-13 January, <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

Sri Joginder Singh , former Director CBI, and Vice–Chancellor, Dr.<br />

B.S Bisht inaugurated the exhibition, by cutting the ribbon and lightening<br />

the lamp , initiating YUVA’09.<br />

The exhibition presented the numerous<br />

facts and figures related to terrorism. Major<br />

terrorist hubs in various states/parts of country<br />

and the timeline as well as the records of the<br />

terrorist attack were displayed in the exhibition.<br />

Picture showing the recent Mumbai attack at<br />

Taj hotel was shown on the flexes. The list of most wanted terrorists in


India along with their photograph and background were also displayed.<br />

`Flexes showing the major threats, the common man’s stand against terrorism,<br />

training of girl students in madrasas to use arms and the outcomes of terrorism like,<br />

spread of fear in the minds of people, and other such prevailing problems was highly<br />

observed and noted by the participants and students.<br />

The auspicious “DEEPSHIKHA” in front of the flexes of KRISHNA-ARJUNA,<br />

sparkled for the two days, clearly spreading the message of exhibition that men are<br />

not meant for quarrelling like cats and dogs, but for peace and harmony.<br />

‘Animals can kill other animal, and there is no question of sin on their part, but if<br />

man kills a man for his satisfaction or for spreading any theology or religion in society<br />

then we –the creator of our future nation cannot sit idle….we have to act like ARJUNA,<br />

like BOSE, like a TRUE YOUTH and stand together against that cowardice attempts.’


Imbibing the words of Swami ji “ARISE, AWAKE AND STOP NOT, TILL THE<br />

GOAL IS REACHED”, The YUVA MAHOTSAV,<strong>2009</strong> began with National<br />

Symposium on 12 January ,<strong>2009</strong>. As the symposium revived the churning of mind,<br />

the cultural eve reflected the revival of souls.<br />

‘Anand Lehar’ as the name defines, brought the waves of Rajasthani music, arts<br />

and folk to Pantnagar – a troop from Rajasthan , not only came with the aura of<br />

land of desert but also embraced the heart of every youth with the feeling of<br />

oneness, integrity and nationalism. Their programme’s concept equally striked<br />

the theme of <strong>Yuva</strong>’09 “National Security and Youth”, thus adding more colors and<br />

vibrance to <strong>Yuva</strong>.


Jam-packed Gandhi Auditorium not only witnessed the magnate<br />

performances by Gawaniyaars but also the awakened, energized<br />

and motivated young hearts of Pantnagar and the<br />

representatives of different universities who participated<br />

in national symposium. Thousands of hands clapped in<br />

rhythm on the beats of “Bharat Mero ” and each one of the<br />

spectator giggled innocently like a child on the thought<br />

provoking pranks of ‘Gyani Baba ’ which was the most<br />

cogent and venerated of all the ‘Kathputlies’. ‘Muhphat ’,<br />

another ‘Kathputli’ with his verbatim was admired by<br />

everyone for his incessant but meaningful banter. The play<br />

depicting the outcomes of terrorism like fear in minds of<br />

people and other such problems sensitized the hearts of<br />

audience.<br />

The folk group was successful in propagating the<br />

message of oneness, sovereignty, integrity very easily and<br />

effectively through music, as it is the universal language<br />

which can touch every soul.<br />

The occasion was graced by the presence of<br />

Governor Sri S.K.Sinha, Vice–Chancellor Dr.B.S.Bisht , DSW<br />

Dr.A.K.Karnataka, Dr.S.K.Kashyap and most important the<br />

participants of different universities who will be<br />

instrumental to radiate the message of SYMPOSIUM and<br />

YUVA among others.<br />

This can be a beginning….


On the shivering JAN 17 morning, sun was able to<br />

justify its presence, 13 teams from different universities<br />

across the nation were present in the Ratan Singh<br />

auditorium for National Debate competition. The lightening<br />

of lamp by Vice –Chancellor, Dr. B.S Bhist, Editor Dainik<br />

Jagran Sri Ravi Sharma and Plant Head HP Sri<br />

Venkat Nakkina signaled the beginning of the debate<br />

competition whose topic was ‘Government is<br />

solely responsible for National Security’.<br />

On the occasion, the<br />

won the NATIONAL<br />

team of our university that<br />

COOPERTATIVE DEBATE in Madurai was appreciated<br />

by presenting memento by V.C sir to all the four<br />

participants of team. Neha Joshi was honoured for<br />

winning the individual prize of the debate. Our guide<br />

and mentor Dr. B Kumar, Head, Agricultural<br />

Communication, College of Agriculture, elaborated the


Sayeed Rashad Iqmal from Jamia Milia<br />

Islamia, argued that government is<br />

tailoring things for its own benefits. They<br />

are pointing to other nations for the sake<br />

of votes. Maria Salman from Aligarh Muslim<br />

University came on the stage like storm<br />

and was in no mood to let it settle. She quoted<br />

examples of Somalia and USA to support<br />

her view that “Government is an institution in which<br />

people need to have faith”. She also furnished examples from philosophy and history.<br />

The debate continued for two days and It seemed as if in these two days, the future<br />

leaders of our nation joined together. Every moment, they cherished and shared, was<br />

memorable.<br />

The VSM team members and the participants lived together, worked and practiced.<br />

Together they laughed ,together they dined<br />

and prayed in the prayer session.<br />

However it was certainly the toughest of<br />

times for jury of Judges- Dr. M.P. Saxena, Shri.<br />

Chawan Mehra and Shri. Shyam Dutt Manali.<br />

They felt clueless to adjudge the best of the<br />

performances but the assignment of experi<br />

ence they were carrying was there to help<br />

them. The orators tried to exploit their<br />

experience every now and then even at the<br />

cost of burning their Lunch.


As the debate completed on<br />

evening of Jan 18th , the house was eager<br />

to know the winners. Vice-Chancellor<br />

Dr. B.S. Bhist distributed the trophies<br />

to the winners-Salma Maria(AMU) was<br />

adjudged the individual best orator and<br />

Grijesh Mehra won the third individual<br />

prize. Aligarh Muslim University was awarded the team prize.<br />

In this way debate ended with the vote of thanks by Dr. S. K. Kashyap.<br />

It was only the end of a competition,<br />

but the bonds that our team tried to create will remain forever...


“Creative Art”– a creativity competition for<br />

small children was conducted on 14 th<br />

January, <strong>2009</strong> under YUVA’09 at Saraswati Shishu Mandir , Pantnagar.<br />

The children were told to make something creative by using the waste<br />

materials like bangles, toffee wrappers, pencil wastes and other similar


household leftovers. The<br />

idea was to try and create a<br />

concern towards material<br />

management not only in the<br />

child but also among his or<br />

her parent. Over 50 children<br />

participated and took with<br />

them the joy of creation, the<br />

satisfaction of creating<br />

something that attracted the<br />

eyes from what everyone by<br />

then perceived waste.


wenty seven teams, each team had a minimum of three and maximum<br />

of five members, each touching hundred people in the campus of<br />

Pantnagar through the surveys on concerns facing the Youth today.<br />

Thus it was around 130 students in their effort towards attracting the attention<br />

of the campus towards the issues of the day. Over twenty five hundred samples<br />

of survey were found and worked upon. NETRITVA— the leadership hunt<br />

organized during <strong>Yuva</strong> - 09 turned out to be a huge mobilizing force, bringing<br />

out the inherent willingness of doing good in each human.<br />

The teams were reduced to 19 in the second round that was about campaigning<br />

around the issue that they had earlier surveyed upon. The university witnessed<br />

a campaign as never before like, the newspapers had slips on them that talked


about the Indian culture, wall magazines calling for choosing<br />

armed forces as employment options were seen, Notice<br />

boards had messages on improving reading habits, appeal<br />

towards electricity and water conservation ran through the<br />

campus, a team did an orientation at the Tagore hostel and<br />

successfully invited VC sir to the event, another one<br />

screened a movie at the Ratan Singh Auditorium, one even<br />

organized a cricket game to spread awareness of sports and<br />

games among youth, at least 14 Nukkads were done around<br />

Pantnagar on the 20 th and 21 st of<br />

January. The energy, activity and the<br />

fervor was worth being carried away<br />

with.<br />

All 27 teams had their talk<br />

with , Dr. A.K Karnataka, DSW , Dr. G.K Singh , Dean Veterinary<br />

and it was not just hard but extremely intricate task to<br />

choose teams and reject the others according to there<br />

efforts during the campaign and based upon there<br />

presentations. After trying to measure the impact of each<br />

team using the most scientific means, possible 8 teams got<br />

to the final round that took place on the 22 nd January.<br />

Bhavisya , Vision, Lcom, Visioners, Zenith (the<br />

height), Belligerents, made it to the open house discussion.


After a comprehensive discussion on the domestic and international questions and a role<br />

play of government deliberating upon the National security the round wrapped up with a<br />

group discussion on “If I win others loose”.<br />

Defying the concept of the discussion teams believed they had won as they were<br />

capable of shattering there inhibitions and had worked for good. The impact of<br />

NETRITVA was volumes and obviously each team accomplished marvels, yet it was<br />

decided by the judges that Bhavisya and Zenith— the height , presented themselves<br />

slightly better and thus should have a special mention as the winning team.


“BHARAT KO JANO” – A General knowledge Quiz competition for school students was<br />

held on 10 th of January, <strong>2009</strong> under “YUVA ‘09”. The competition<br />

junior level, were able to achieve highest marks among<br />

all other participants.


These students will be awarded scholarship of Rs. 100 per month for one year.<br />

about their Indian culture and heritage.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s Birth anniversary<br />

was marked with the culmination of <strong>Yuva</strong> 09, the<br />

Yaatra of learning and growing along that had<br />

began on Swami ji’s Birth anniversary.<br />

The conference hall CBSH was witness to the<br />

promise in each heart that the spirit of YUVA shall<br />

be enduring and rousing. A quick recap of YUVA<br />

09 was done touching some memories that will<br />

stay with us forever. Students who had won<br />

scholarships and individual prizes in Bharat ko<br />

Jaano, Orator of the Zone and creative art<br />

reached us from towns close to Pantnagar.<br />

The invitees were awarded prizes and certificates<br />

by Vice chancellor Dr. B.S.Bisht sir along with DSW<br />

Dr. A.K.Karnatak sir. Also the participants of<br />

‘NETRITVA— the leadership hunt’ were presented<br />

with a token for there efforts towards creating a<br />

wave of positivism in the university.


Dr. A. K Karnataka DSW and Dr. B.S Bhist Vice<br />

Chancellor congratulated the participants and the organizers for a wonderfully<br />

conceived and presented YUVA 09. Applauding the energy and exuberance of the<br />

university during the period they stressed upon the need towards maintaining the<br />

momentum through out the year.<br />

As we remember Netaji on his birth anniversary and watched a short movie on<br />

him.<br />

YUVA HAD FINALLY REACHED THE SETTING FROM WHERE EACH WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH IT COULD LOOK BACK AND<br />

MARVEL AT WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED OVER THE LAST 12 DAYS BOTH AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND AS A TEAM...THIS<br />

WAS THE SUCCESS OF YUVA . IT DIDN’T JUST TOUCH PEOPLE BUT IT RESHAPED A FEW, IT CARVED MANY.<br />

YUVA made man and that is what you need when you plan for centuries.
