Inaugurating the convention, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad is working to take forward the voice of the students. This is the largest student organization in the world and it is fortunate that I have also been associated with it. This is the only student organization in the world which, along with removing the shortcomings of the education world, is also working on character building among the students.
The Home Minister said that the person who was earlier sitting at the end of the pandal in the Vidyarthi Parishad is present today as the chief guest. It is a matter of pride for me. Vidyarthi Parishad has made an important contribution in nation building by struggling in difficult circumstances and preserving the basic mantra of knowledge and unity. The organization never deviated from the path in its journey and did not allow the governments to deviate either.
Students of Vidyarthi Parishad struggled against the Emergency and many activists also had to go to jail. Loknayak Jaiprakash Narayan also praised the work of the student organization. National General Secretary of Vidyarthi Parishad, Yagyavalkya Shukla said that Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad is continuously working towards women’s education, safety, respect, health and self-reliance.
