Why you should attend Samvaad?

The youth are not only leaders of tomorrow, but also partners of today. With India witnessing a radical change in the mindset of people towards governance and policies, and increasing despondency among people due to continuous compromise of citizens’ welfare, there is a rising need to address the grassroot challenges of development and focus on making the country self-reliant through both - individual and cooperative efforts.
