ABVP Launches "Parisar Chalo Yatra" in Kashi Prant to Revitalize Campus Culture

In an effort to revive campuses and restore campus culture, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has initiated a nationwide campaign titled "Parisar Chalo Abhiyan". This campaign will involve an awareness drive through the "Parisar Chalo Rath" in ABVP's Kashi Province, encouraging students to return to their campuses. As part of the "Parisar Chalo Yatra" organized by ABVP Kashi Province, a chariot has been launched from Duddhi and Amethi in Sonbhadra, officially inaugurated today. The chariot departing from Duddhi will reach Kashi Hindu University on July 6, passing through Sonbhadra, Mirzapur, Bhadohi, Varanasi district, Gazipur, Chandauli, and Varanasi Mahanagar. Meanwhile, the chariot starting from Amethi will arrive at Allahabad University on July 6, traveling through Sultanpur, Machlishaher, Jaunpur, Pratapgarh, Kaushambi, Prayag Jila, and Prayag Mahanagar.

The ABVP will sustain the “Parisar Chalo Abhiyan” throughout the year to address the decline in student presence on campuses. This mass movement will be conducted in two phases, targeting 10+2 students and those studying in university campuses. In the first phase, the focus will be on reigniting student interest in campuses through student dialogues, student parliaments, motivational speeches, various competitions, and creating a positive campus atmosphere. This will include initiating student unions in campuses, practical classes in schools, and projects related to art, sports, service, and the environment. In the second phase, efforts will be made to engage all education sector stakeholders to enliven campuses, transform them into employment hubs, and provide facilities like canteens, sports grounds, and student welfare centers to enhance campus appeal. 

In Amethi, the yatra was inaugurated by State Secretary Abhay Pratap Singh and State Joint-Secretary Shubhendra Singh. In Duddhi, the yatra was inaugurated by National Executive Council Member Payal Rai, State Organizing Secretary Abhilash Mishra, and State Joint-Secretary Naman Srivastava.

During the inauguration in Amethi, Abhay Pratap Singh, State Secretary of ABVP Kashi, stated, "Following the Corona period, there has been a decline in student attendance on educational campuses, causing students to forget campus culture, which is crucial for their all-round development. Campus and classroom education are integral to the socialization process of students, helping them understand their societal and national responsibilities. 

A public awareness campaign will be conducted in the districts through the "Parisar Chalo Rath" organized by ABVP Kashi Prant. During this campaign, various activities such as chaupals, seminars, street plays, and leaflet distribution will be conducted to highlight the importance of campus culture. Families will be visited to motivate students to attend campus and pursue education. Efforts are being made to grandly decorate the chariot, with workers from all districts holding meetings to ensure its grandeur. Groups of students will accompany these chariots, and they will receive a grand welcome at major stops.
