The youngsters, under the banner of Ideas Meet, garnered the support of interested youth via Facebook and other forms of student-centric publicity to come together and brainstorm on the current issues.

The idea behind was to assess the various issues that need to be tackled on priority, so as to work towards the betterment of the country.

Addressing the gathering at Vijaya School of Music in Jayanagar, freedom fighter H S Doreswamy encouraged his young audience to be assertive in their rights and privileges and fight for them in the right way.

He listened patiently to all the questions and concerns of the young audience and guided them by quoting examples from his own life.
