Bhavans Smart Indian School organized an exciting National Youth Day Program on January 11th, 2024, to celebrate the energy and potential of young people. The students started off the event by remembering Swami Vivekananda, who inspired us to believe in ourselves and be courageous. One of the students dressed up as Swami Vivekananda, introduced himself as a visionary and philosopher, whose teachings continue to inspire and guide the youth. His ideals were seamlessly integrated into the fabric of the event, encouraging students to reflect on their roles in shaping the future.
The heart of the event was the Youngsters Parliament-Public Speaking Competition, where students eloquently expressed their thoughts on various subjects, talking about them and impressing everyone with their speaking skills. Young leaders were entrusted with the responsibility of adjudicating the public speeches, and they executed their role admirably, ensuring a fair and thorough evaluation for all participants. It was thoughtful to include young judges from Grade 11 to give them a sense of responsibility and leadership values. It was great to see each speaker bringing their unique perspective to Youth Day on the following topics:
Paving the Way for Future Generations of Women in STEM: Students passionately discussed the importance of encouraging women in STEM fields, breaking gender stereotypes, and promoting inclusivity.
