Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla Addresses Indian Students in London

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, during his official visit to the United Kingdom, addressed over 180 Indian students at an event in London. He emphasized the growing importance of India's youth in the global landscape.

Birla highlighted the role of Indian students in shaping the nation's future. He pointed out that India's students are driving the country's progress through their mentality, ideas, innovation, and competitiveness. He noted a global trend where the young population is decreasing in many parts of the world, while in India, the capabilities and confidence of the youth continue to rise.

"In the world, India is such a country where its students, their mentality, ideas, innovation capacity, and competitiveness are giving India a new ability and energy...The capability, confidence, and innovation capacity of youth in India are increasing. On one hand, in the world, the population of the young generation is reducing and on the other hand, in India, the youngsters' capabilities are increasing and this is our biggest strength," the Lok Sabha Speaker said.

Birla encouraged the students to actively contribute to the nation's growth and development, reflecting the aspirations of a progressive India.

Students who attended the event expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to interact with the Lok Sabha Speaker. Awaid Joshi, a student of the University of Law, said he was inspired after meeting with Birla and that he had a big impact on increasing access to Indian politics. Another student said they learned new ideas and thanked the High Commission of India and the Government of India for organizing the event.

The event also saw the presence of senior dignitaries, including the High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami and Deputy High Commissioner of India Sujit Ghosh. The interaction provided students with an opportunity to engage with one of India's key leaders and discuss their perspectives on India's development and global positioning. It also highlighted the government's commitment to fostering connections with the Indian diaspora, especially the youth studying abroad.
