Chief Guest-cum-Observer: Dr. Dusu Sambyo, Associate Professor, Department of History, Don Bosco College, Itanagar and our Alumnus
Special Attendee: Sri. Giamde Tamin, General Secretary, VKVAA

Objectives of the Programme:
The programme was guided by three primary objectives. Concentration and Memory Development aimed to help students strengthen mental focus, overcome distractions, and channel energy productively. Life Goals and Leadership Training sought to enable students to reflect on their future, identify their inner potential, and cultivate qualities of leadership such as decision-making, sacrifice, and conviction. Inter-community and Organisational Connect was designed to encourage teamwork, bonding, and a sense of responsibility towards the larger community.
Beyond these stated goals, the programme also sought to inculcate values from Swami Vivekananda’s teachings in day-to-day life. It aimed to promote physical, mental, and emotional balance through yoga and games, provide a platform for critical reflection on social issues, and strengthen the spirit of unity, cultural identity, and national pride.
The programme was conceived with the belief that today’s youth are the torchbearers of tomorrow’s society. By nurturing discipline, moral strength, unity, and clarity of purpose, this programme sought to prepare young minds to become leaders who can illuminate society through character and service.

Key Learnings & Outcomes:
We believe that our students have developed self-confidence, adaptability, humility, and a spirit of teamwork. They must have understood the value of sacrifice, moral strength, and service to others. They were engaged in critical reflection on societal issues and linked Swami Vivekananda’s ideas to present realities. The event fostered unity across communities, genders, and backgrounds, preparing youth for leadership roles. The students have realised that true leadership is not about power but about responsibility, character, and collective progress.
