Lucknow: The Cantt Nagar unit of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, South Lucknow, in association with the National Kalamanch Ayam, organized a grand Youthopia 2.0 program to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. The event aimed to provide youth with a culturally, creatively, and intellectually empowering platform, featuring competitions such as ramp walks, singing, dancing, and a “Waste to Wonder” exhibition.
The program’s chief speaker, State Co-Minister and National Theatre member Kusum Kanaujia, said, “Swami Vivekananda’s life is a treasure of inspiration for all of us. Every young person should learn from his life. His message—‘Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached’—remains as relevant today as ever. Youth must set their goals, focus their minds, and pursue them with full dedication.”
Distinguished guests included Cultural Club members Prof. Somit Kumar and Prof. Shivali, Program Organizer/District Coordinator Anshika Singh, and City Minister Madhuri Tiwari. District Coordinator Anshika Singh highlighted that Youthopia is more than a program—it is a philosophy where young people can express themselves creatively while staying connected to their roots and traditions. She emphasized that the initiative encourages youth to present culture and values innovatively while embracing modernity.
City Minister Madhuri Tiwari extended her best wishes to the chief guest and participants. The program was attended by numerous students and volunteers, including Metropolitan Coordinator Siddhant Singh, Program Coordinators Dev Raj Krishna, Avinash Kushwaha, Amrita Singh, and Shivam Singh. The event concluded on a high note, with students being felicitated for their participation and achievements, reflecting the enthusiasm and talent of the youth.
