These efforts were announced at the conclusion of ABVP's 65th Kashi State Conference, alongside discussions on admission reforms and regional educational empowerment.

ABVP Introduces Key Initiatives to Boost National Spirit and Student Well-being

During its 65th Kashi State Conference held in Jaunpur, the RSS-affiliated student organization, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), adopted two significant initiatives aimed at strengthening national consciousness and promoting healthier lifestyles among students.

Promoting 'Vande Mataram' as a Symbol of Unity

Marking the 150th anniversary of the song "Vande Mataram," ABVP resolved to promote it as a powerful symbol of national unity and cultural pride. The campaign will involve campus-based cultural programs, student dialogues, and active engagement with educational institutions to deepen students' connection with this historic anthem.

Encouraging 'Screen Time to Green Time' for Healthier Lifestyles

Recognizing the growing concern over excessive digital device use among youth, ABVP launched the "Screen Time to Green Time" initiative. This campaign encourages students to reduce their screen exposure and participate more in outdoor learning, sports, green campus activities, and nature-centric experiences to enhance both physical and mental well-being.

Addressing University Admission Challenges and Regional Development

In addition to these initiatives, ABVP passed resolutions expressing concern over prolonged admission procedures and the issue of vacant seats in central and state universities. The organization also outlined a long-term vision focused on educational empowerment and ecological awareness, particularly targeting the Sonbhadra region.

New Leadership Announced at ABVP's 65th Kashi State Conference

At the conference's conclusion, ABVP announced its new Kashi state executive committee. Mahendra Tripathi was named state president, with Santosh Singh 'Ansh', Ram Shankar Uraon, Abha Tripathi, and Ravi Shekhar Singh appointed as state vice presidents. The joint secretaries include Shiv Babu Chaudhary, Nivedita Mishra, Aman Singh, and Trikant Singh Jatav.

ABVP's zonal organizing secretary for east Uttar Pradesh, Ghanshyam Shahi, highlighted the organization's 77-year journey and emphasized the vital role student activists play in nation-building. "The ABVP is not merely an organisation but an idea, and society recognises us by our conduct," he stated.
