Sadhotra said that unity in diversity is India’s greatest strength, and the students and youth must work toward societal upliftment by promoting a sense of camaraderie among people.

Expressing concern over the rising unemployment among educated youth that has accumulated during the past one decade, Sadhotra called for a comprehensive strategy to tackle this pressing issue.
Prominent among those present included- Mohd Ayub Malik, Pardeep Bali (Provincial Secretaries), Surjit Singh Manhas joint secretary Jammu province, Chander Udhay Singh Zonal vice president (Central Zone), Raghubir Singh Manhas, Ch Naresh Bittu district presidents, Aisha Gupta and Priyanka Sharma.
