Every year ten to twelve thousands politically and socially active students from 450 universities, 25,000 colleges and 29 states of India, make way to participate at this flagship annual conclave after a rigorous selection process.
Final year student of LPU B.Tech (Mechanical Engineering) Aman Walia was recently honoured with the ‘Best Student Speaker of India’ award at the 5th annual students’ conclave ‘Indian Student Parliament’ organized by renowned Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad Foundation, Pune. He was chosen for the honor from among 10,000 participating students. This three-day conclave brought together student leaders from across India, and was supported by UNESCO Chair for Human Rights, Democracy, Peace and Tolerance, World Peace Centre (Pune), and the Indian government.
Eminent speakers from the government, parliament, media and film industry including Defence Minister Manohar Parikar, anti corruption leader Anna Hazare, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal also addressed the students. Every year ten to twelve thousands politically and socially active students from 450 universities, 25,000 colleges and 29 states of India, make way to participate at this flagship annual conclave after a rigorous selection process.
Amid different 8 sessions and different topics thereof, LPU student Aman presented his applauding speaking skills for the topic “33% — Is it a Real Tool for Women Empowerment?”. His single liner that “a girl should get all sorts of reservations right from her very being in the womb of her mother” was appreciated by one and all. He explained the core values of the topic with forceful sentences & perfect power of oration, and this all made him to earn the coveted title of the best speaker. Belonging to the state ‘Haryana’ considered to be conservative about women, Aman changed all such notions altogether by raising forceful voice in favour of women.
Jubilant, Aman credits his winning to his teachers’ guidance and LPU environment which keeps on providing students opportunities to excel. Aman is also student Vice-Chairman of ‘American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)’ and Executive Member of ‘Engineering for Change (E4C)’ at LPU. Congratulating the talented student, LPU Pro Chancellor Mrs Rashmi Mittal said, “We are happy to see the leadership qualities in our student who has outshone thousands of other student-leaders from across India. In fact, LPU lays emphasis on all- round personality development of the students and so their talents lying within are also brought out along with their academic excellence. In this regard, LPU is running a student project cell – “Lovely Youth Capital” which keeps on offering students a platform to develop their intrinsic abilities. The success of our student is the result of such an endeavour, as in spite of his being an ME student he was always encouraged to nourish his speaking skills and leadership qualities.
