— Mukand Lal National College, Yamunanagar, on Friday organised a live telecast of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s address under the ‘Yuva Udyami Chaupal’ programme, with 135 students participating enthusiastically in the initiative aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, startups, self-employment and employment generation among young people.
The programme was held at 12 noon, where students gathered to listen carefully to the Chief Minister’s address and gain insights into entrepreneurship and the growing opportunities available for youth who wish to transform their ideas into successful business ventures.
The central objective of the programme was to encourage students to look beyond conventional employment opportunities and develop the confidence, skills and vision required to establish their own enterprises. The initiative also sought to motivate young people to convert innovative ideas into viable business models and contribute actively to economic growth and job creation.
During his address, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini shared experiences from his own life and highlighted the importance of entrepreneurship in the country’s economic development. He said that young entrepreneurs have the potential to play an increasingly significant role in strengthening the Indian economy through innovation, skills and fresh thinking.
The Chief Minister observed that young people are already making a mark in the startup ecosystem and are exploring new possibilities across different sectors. He encouraged students to recognise their abilities, identify opportunities and work towards transforming their ideas into practical ventures.
Emphasising the need for a change in mindset, the Chief Minister encouraged youth not to limit themselves only to searching for jobs. Instead, he said, young people should also consider starting their own businesses and becoming employment generators.
According to the message shared during the programme, entrepreneurship has the potential not only to make individuals financially independent but also to create employment opportunities for others. A successful enterprise, particularly when built around innovation and market needs, can contribute to the wider economic development of society.
The Chief Minister encouraged young people to develop the confidence to take calculated risks and convert their ideas into practical business opportunities. He also said that the government is committed to supporting young people who wish to transform promising ideas into viable business ventures.
The students at Mukand Lal National College followed the live address with interest, gaining information and motivation related to startups, self-employment and entrepreneurship. The programme provided an opportunity for them to understand the importance of innovation, skill development and independent thinking in an increasingly competitive economic environment.
The college administration said such initiatives are important in creating greater awareness among students about the changing nature of employment and the opportunities available beyond traditional career paths.
The programme was coordinated by Prof. Parveen Khurana and Dr. Rachna Aggarwal. Faculty members Dr. Savita Garg, Dr. Ankur, Dr. Vakil Singh and Dr. Rameshwar Groch also contributed to the successful organisation of the event.
College Principal Dr. Manohar Goyal appreciated the efforts of the teachers and students for the successful conduct of the programme. He said entrepreneurs play an important role in the economic progress of the country and in creating new employment opportunities.
Dr. Goyal encouraged students to actively explore entrepreneurship and make effective use of their skills, knowledge and business ideas to move towards self-reliance. He said that educational institutions have an important responsibility in guiding students towards emerging opportunities and helping them develop the confidence to face professional challenges.
He stressed that entrepreneurship is not limited to launching a large company. Students can begin by identifying local needs, developing useful solutions and gradually expanding their ideas through hard work, discipline and continuous learning.
The participation of 135 students in the Yuva Udyami Chaupal programme reflected growing interest among young people in entrepreneurship and self-employment. The live telecast also offered students an opportunity to connect government-led initiatives and policy discussions with their own career aspirations.
With innovation, technology and changing market demands opening new avenues for young people, programmes focused on entrepreneurship are becoming increasingly relevant for students preparing to enter the professional world.
The event at Mukand Lal National College concluded with a message of confidence and self-reliance, encouraging students to believe in their abilities, strengthen their skills and explore opportunities that can help them become not only successful professionals but also future entrepreneurs and job creators.
The Yuva Udyami Chaupal programme thus served as an important platform to inspire students of Mukand Lal National College, Yamunanagar, to think independently, embrace innovation and take meaningful steps towards entrepreneurship and self-employment.
