A one-day workshop on the role of young voters took place at Dayanand Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Kurukshetra. The event focused on the contribution of youth to India’s democratic system. Students from different courses attended the session. They explored how elections shape the future of the country and why every vote matters.
College Principal Dr. Upasana Ahuja opened the session. She said the aim of the workshop was to build awareness among young citizens. According to her, the youth form the strongest group in the voter base. Their decisions influence policies, development work, and leadership. She added that the role of young voters becomes meaningful when they think independently and stay informed about national issues.
Speakers explained the basic steps in voter registration. They discussed how polling booths work and why free and fair elections protect democracy. The resource team also spoke about the rise of misinformation. They encouraged students to verify facts before sharing them on social media.
Group activities helped students understand real issues. Many participants listed employment, education, digital access and safety as their main concerns. Students shared their first voting experience and said they felt more confident after the workshop.
In another session, experts explained how youth participation can reduce social and political gaps. They said young voters bring new ideas and fresh energy. Their involvement strengthens accountability and transparency in government.
Faculty members encouraged students to motivate others to vote. They said awareness spreads faster when young citizens take the lead. Teachers also reminded them that democracy grows when people stay engaged throughout the year, not only during elections.
The event ended with strong participation from the students. Many felt inspired to take part in future elections. They said the workshop gave them clarity about their rights and duties. The session also helped them understand that every vote has the power to bring change.
