Youth Promote Voting Awareness on National Voters’ Day
On National Voters’ Day, young people in Balagarh organized a special event called 'My Vote, My Right' to teach others about the importance of voting.
They started with a fun cycle rally and then had a seminar where they talked about how young voters can make a big difference in democracy.
The event was full of energy, with T-shirts, badges, and refreshments.
The speakers told the young people that voting is not just a right but also a responsibility.
They should vote wisely and not believe in false information.
Another similar event happened at the Attari border, where a union minister encouraged young people to be fit and vote.
Both events showed how important it is for young people to be involved in their country's future.
A 'My Vote, My Right' event was organized in Balagarh on National Voters’ Day to promote voting awareness among youth.
The event included a cycle rally and a seminar themed 'First-Time Voters as a Transformative Democratic Force.'
Around 300 NSS volunteers and students participated, emphasizing the importance of youth engagement in democratic processes.
Speakers urged young voters to reject misinformation, make informed choices, and uphold constitutional values.
A similar cycle rally was held at the Attari border, promoted by Union Minister Raksha Khadse, emphasizing fitness and voting as a fundamental right.

Quotes
Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya
Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports
“Our Honourable Prime Minister has given a clarion call to celebrate first-time voters and motivate them to cast their votes towards building a stronger Bharat. Today, I interacted with more than 100 first-time voters and was impressed by their interest in contributing towards a Viksit Bharat. Being the youngest democracy in the world, it is imperative that we harness the energy of the youth to make India a global superpower.”

“Cycling as an exercise can be done especially by women, who are often not encouraged by their families to take up sport or other fitness activities. It is easy and can be done for just 15 minutes a day to stay fit and agile.”
