Ms. Sake Archana, a student of I B.Sc. Biosciences and Biotechnology at SSSIHL, Anantapur campus, had the honor of speaking on the topic “Indian Culture or Western Glamour – Dilemma of Indian Youth” at the 14th Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad (Indian Student Parliament) held by MIT-WPU, Pune from February 08-10, 2025.
In the initial screening, three students from the SSSIHL Anantapur Campus, Ms. Sake Archana (I B.Sc Biosciences and Biotechnology), Ms. Sanya Ahuja (II MA in English Language and Literature), and Ms. Saipriya Babu (I MA in English Language and Literature)—were selected to participate in the event, from thousands of applicants from higher education institutions across India, through a stringent screening process. Ms. Sake Archana was chosen as one of the top 6 student speakers to speak on the “Indian Culture or Western Glamour – Dilemma of Indian Youth” on Day 2 of the event.
The Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad (BCS), an annual apolitical event, aims to inspire India’s educated youth to participate in public life and contribute to nation-building. The 14th edition of BCS also explored several pressing issues relevant to the nation, including “Left, Right or Out of Sight? Ideologies in Indian Politics,” “Revadi Culture: Fiscal Burden or Necessary Support,” and “AI and Social Media – Power or Pitfall?”
The forenoon sessions featured student speakers from across the country alongside political figures, actors, youth icons, and industry leaders who shared their perspectives. The afternoon sessions, titled “Youth to Youth Connect,” focused on leadership skill development through interactive activities, discussions on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and dialogues between political leaders and students. The evening segment, “Loktantra Ka Rangmanch,” presented various dimensions of democracy and political engagement through artistic and theatrical expressions.
Ms. Sake Archana’s exceptional performance at the event stands as a testament to the high caliber of students nurtured at SSSIHL and their commitment to contributing meaningfully to society.
