Chandigarh, April 2: Deputy Speaker of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, Dr. Krishan Lal Middha, expressed his gratitude to all the representatives of the organization for organizing the Haryana Yuva Samvad 2025 program in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha. He also appreciated the Rajdhani Yuva Sansad for selecting Haryana as the host state for this program.
In his address after inaugurating the two-day Haryana Yuva Samvad, Dr. Middha expressed that it is a matter of great fortune for him, as the Deputy Speaker of Haryana Vidhan Sabha, to have the opportunity to engage with the talented youth selected from all corners of the country in this August house. He emphasized that this platform is not only a space for discussion but also a laboratory for shaping future policies. Dr. Middha further highlighted that the venue of this conference is not just an ordinary platform but a confluence of the Constitution, dialogue, and sensitivity—a place where the vision for building the future of the state is conceived and brought to fruition.
He mentioned that more than 60 youths, selected through three phases, are participating in the Haryana Yuva Samvad. These young participants will not only share their views but also offer insights into the direction society should take and express what the youth envision for the future. This platform will provide an opportunity to hear their perspectives.
Dr. Middha expressed happiness that two important topics have been chosen for discussion—Development and Expansion in Haryana through digital medium and Women Empowerment in Haryana. He emphasized that when we talk about a digital Haryana, we must recognize an important point: for the world to change, not only must we embrace technology, but our way of thinking must also evolve. He further stated that today’s India is a young India, with enthusiastic youth eager to make a difference. He pointed out that if we reverse the word youth (Yuva), it becomes air (Vayu), and as we all know, air moves swiftly.
He stated that the youth must aim to become job creators, not just job seekers. Dr. Middha emphasized that the 21st century is defined by our approach to technology. Today, farmers are able to test the soil of their fields online, students in remote villages can study online from world-renowned universities, and women entrepreneurs are managing their businesses through apps. He pointed out that we now need technical, digital, and administrative skills, as well as policies that are inclusive, equitable, and visionary. A new form of Haryana will emerge from the balance of these elements. He further added that social media should be used as a tool for solving societal problems, not creating fear. This vision of a digital Haryana can become a reality if youth like those present on this platform become the carriers of this change.
Dr. Middha highlighted that the second topic of the Haryana Samvad, Women Empowerment in Haryana, is a very important and specific subject. He stressed that when we talk about women empowerment, we must remember that when women are given opportunities, it empowers not just the home but the entire nation. He further stated that the progress of a nation is not possible unless its women are educated, safe, and empowered. Dr. Middha emphasized that while laws are important, what we truly need is a mental revolution to bring about meaningful change.
Congress MLA Smt Geeta Bhukkal, who was the key speaker in the Haryana Yuva Samvad program, said that youth is the bright future of the country. There was a time when literacy mission was run to increase literacy and knowledge. Today we are in the era of e-governance. She said that the National Education Policy 2020 is being implemented. She said that today the subject matter is available in the form of e-content. We should stay updated with it, she added.
