Youth conferences across India have always been successful in honing the true spirit of democracy and finding the best set of diplomats amongst the youth.
With the motto of ” Forging peace in the Hearth of chaos”, the two day conference hosted around 250 students from across the country and the participating schools included Welham Boys (Dehradun ), The Sanskriti School (Delhi) , DPS Budgam, DPS Srinagar, DAV Amritsar, Lawrence Sanwar, KC International, Model Academy, APS Domana, Jammu Sanskriti, G D Goenka and MHAC Nagbani etc.
The opening Video itself made the theme Forging Peace in the Hearth of Chaos so very clear and heart touching that almost all the 300 plus people in the hall had the Goose Bumps. The best part of the JYC was that it was by the students, for the students and of the students initiative and the students worked very hard to make it successful.
The Conference Director Bhawna Madaan worked and dreamt of this conference way back in 2012.
Committees like AIPPM, Lok Sabha, Indian Press Meet, All Indian Student Union, ISCRT, Code Red, National Commission for Women and Hindustan Cabinet presided over by the students and alumni of the school witnessed heated debates on national agendas’ like Construction of Ram Mandir, JNU crisis, political influence on media etc.
The meet was declared open by the Director of the Conference Vidur Kumar, Head Boy Nipun Sharma and Head Girl Dhvani Gupta.
The first day of the Conclave culminated into a social gathering of all 250 delegates and their escort teachers in the evening.
Trustee Nandan Kuthiala and Director Arati Kuthiala along with Vice Principal Sheafli Sanwal witnessed the programme.
Principals from APS Kaluchak Hema Vishen, Model Academy Pramod Srivastava, KC International Subendhu Sarkar, Jammu Sanskriti Rohini Aima and APS Domana Renu Gupta also graced the occasion and blessed the students for these two days of Brainstorming.
