Youth Leadership Workshop at Hyderabad

Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, Telugu Prant, organized a Youth Leadership Workshop on the occasion of Universal Brotherhood Day on 13th September 2025 at G. Pulla Reddy Degree College Auditorium, Hyderabad. The program was attended by 113 participants representing 24 finalist teams from various districts and zones out of 118 expected. The event was coordinated with the dedicated efforts of 16 Yuva Karyakartas and 15 Varshitha Karyakartas, ensuring its smooth execution.

The finalist teams were from Tirupati (3 teams), Eluru (3 teams), Amalapuram (1 team), Kurnool (1 team) and Hyderabad zones – Nagole (3 teams), Dilsukhnagar (6 teams), Narayanguda (3 teams), Mehdipatnam (3 teams), and Kukatpally (1 team).

The workshop began with team-building games followed by a group discussion on “How to manifest our love for our country in our daily routine”. The reflections and presentations by the teams encouraged active participation and creative thinking.

The highlight of the program was an inspiring address by Major Shri SPS Oberoi (Ex-Army, Academic Advisor, Ekam IAS Academy) on “Love Bharat, Serve Bharat.” His talk deeply inspired the participants to channel their patriotic spirit into constructive actions for society.

Towards the conclusion, the youth resolved to express their love for Bharat through service, by celebrating Deepawali with underprivileged families or by cleaning and lighting Deepas in old unattended temples in their localities.

The workshop effectively strengthened the spirit of brotherhood, responsibility, and dedication to the nation among the participants, truly reflecting Swami Vivekananda’s message that the future of India lies in the hands of its youth.
