Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, Gujarat Prant organized the Ignited Youth Forum (IYF) 2025 Conference at Shree Swaminarayan Sewashram-Vastadi, Limbdi, Surendranagar, from 28th February to 2nd March 2025.
The conference was structured around the theme "Preparing Leaders of Tomorrow." A total of 58 participants, including 26 sisters and 32 brothers from 14 colleges across 5 Vibhags of Gujarat, attended the conference. Additionally, 4 sisters and 12 brothers from the Sanchalan and Vyavastha team ensured the smooth execution of the event.
During the intellectual session on the IYF concept, Sri Utsav Ji guided the participants on the challenges faced by Mahavidyalaya Sthan and the role of IYF in addressing them. A panel discussion was held to deliberate on the initiation of work at the new Mahavidyalaya Sthan, the consolidation of efforts, committee formation, and the concerns of young minds. In the Process Planning and Training session, Sri Bharat Vivek Ji provided insights into Lok Sampark, Lok Sangrah, Lok Sanskar, and Lok Vyavastha through examples and presentations to ensure effective program execution.
The conference also featured various activities during Prerana Se Punaruthhan sessions, including engaging games, storytelling sessions on Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa. Keeping in mind the upcoming Mahashibir, participants from each college meticulously planned two programs. Sri Tejasbhai Rawal provided entrepreneurial guidance to equip students with the necessary skills to navigate challenges in today's competitive world.
A special highlight of the event was the Dev Bhojan, where participants prepared food themselves and shared meals, fostering a sense of self-reliance and community bonding. As part of Prerana Se Punaruthhan, a campfire session was conducted, where participants showcased their patriotic spirit through songs, stories, and drama performances addressing youth challenges in modern times. A special drama based on the life of Hamirji Gohil was also presented, emphasizing courage and devotion.
The event concluded with an inspiring message from Sri Divyesh Ji Mehta, who urged participants to take inspiration from Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and recognize their latent potential instead of being carried away by external influences.
