Nagpur: Amar SevaMandal’s, GovindraoWanjari College of Engineering& Technology organised Vidarbha Student Parliament on 21st February 2018 in which various topics and social issues were discussed by students of various colleges and eminent personalities.
Vidarbha Student Parliament was initiated in 2017 which comprises the topics that are mostly the current social issues related to youth’s development of Vidarbha. The VSP is an event which gives an opportunity to involve and express the positive and effective views of students from all across Vidarbha for the future progressive development of the Vidarbha. Our approach has to be, not “what does a good citizen know?” but “what does a good citizen do, and what must he know to do it?” Education cannot be imparted merely by providing students with factual information. We have to think not only in terms of developing technical competencies in students but also in terms of influencing their attitudes which are essential for inculcating social values on right lines. The VSP can impart and inculcate some real value education with cause.
