Delhi University's North Campus hosted the 'Run for Viksit Bharat' on 8th May. This run, organized in collaboration with the Vikas Bharat Ambassador Club, witnessed a remarkable turnout of over 8,000 students from more than 80 colleges across Delhi University representing various undergraduate and postgraduate disciplines.

A sea of young participants gathered at 6:00 a.m., adorned in T-shirts bearing the 'Viksit Bharat Ambassadors' inscription. Together, they participated in a 2km run to promote the vision of a developed nation by 2047.

Esteemed chief guests, actor Rajkummar Rao and badminton ace Saina Nehwal graced the event with their presence. Both addressed the gathered youth, emphasizing the pivotal role of young people in shaping a 'Viksit Bharat', highlighting India's ascent on the global stage, and notably stressing the importance of voting for national progress.

Saina Nehwal's call for increased voter engagement resonated throughout the event. She emphasized the power of the ballot and encouraged every eligible citizen to participate in the democratic process.

Rajkummar Rao, a proud Delhi University alumnus and a notable advocate for the Election Commission, echoed these sentiments, urging attendees to exercise their voting rights diligently during the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections.

Nehwal also emphasized the importance of incorporating running into daily routines for fitness. She highlighted the significance of the Viksit Bharat Run and expressed a desire for India to excel and become one of the world’s leading nations by 2047 or earlier. She also commended the achievements of Indian women across various fields.

Citing badminton, she said, “Earlier, China and Korea used to dominate the game, but today, Indian players have given them a run for their money.”

The badminton player reiterated the importance of voting, urging every eligible individual to participate in the country’s advancement. “Voting is crucial, so please exercise your right to vote and contribute to taking our nation to greater heights.”

Actor Rajkummar Rao also attended the event and shared his sentiments regarding the ‘Viksit Bharat Run’.

“It feels great to return to my alma mater. We are all here for Viksit Bharat 2047. We are committed to this initiative to create more opportunities for everyone and build a better India for the younger generation.”

Rajkummar Rao termed the Viksit Bharat event a path-breaking initiative and said that the combined effort of countrymen will help achieve this target easily.

The Bollywood actor, also serving as the brand ambassador of the Election Commission (EC), emphasized the importance of voting, stating that it is everyone’s responsibility to do so.

“As the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 are underway, I urge everyone to go out and cast their votes as it is crucial for our democracy and our nation,” added the actor.

The event, graced by DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh as the chief guest, saw participation from students across various DU colleges.
