objectionable content. The organisation also emphasized encouraging adolescent

girls and young women to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and

Mathematics (STEM) and emerging technologies, conducting nationwide awareness

Regarding

agricultural reforms, ABVP’s memorandum called for the constitution of a

national-level Indian Agriculture Council, establishment of Central

fitness programmes in all educational institutions, and formulation of a

‘National Sports Readiness Framework’ in preparation for the 2030 Commonwealth

Games. The delegation also highlighted the need to incentivise NCC and NSS

sporting heritage.

ABVP’s

National General Secretary Dr. Virendra Singh Solanki stated,“Based on the

resolutions passed and suggestions received during the Dehradun National

Conference, ABVP today submitted memoranda to three Union Ministers to seek

concrete and practical solutions to critical national issues. Ensuring a safe

and dignified digital environment for women, bringing uniformity and quality in

agricultural education through a national council, and integrating sports as an

integral component of education are essential to the vision of a developed and

self-reliant India. ABVP remains committed to constructive dialogue,

policy-oriented advocacy, and nation-building through the empowerment of

students and youth. The Hon’ble Ministers have shown a positive approach, and

we are confident that effective policy decisions will be taken at the earliest.
