In his inaugural address, Assembly Speaker K G Bopaiah gave a call for the youth to utilise the youth power to build a powerful nation. The youth must work towards building the nation rather than engaging in harmful activities. “The youth have been entrusted to bring a social development in the nation. They have to work to eliminate corruption in the country.

The girls and boys should take part in the programmes like youth fair which depict the art, culture and tradition of our nation. The youth should engage in constructive activities where they will be able to expose their talent and also at the same time would be able to hold the integrity of the nation. The youth should follow the morals and values put forth by the leaders like Swami Vivekananda and Jayaprakash Narayan,” he said.

ZP President Shanteyanda Ravi Kushalappa asked the youth to imbibe good qualities in them, thus engaging in social activities. Such youth fair held in portraying different culture and tradition of our nation under a single roof, he said.
