IIM Raipur kicks off Y20 Consultation Event aims at gathering young leaders from all over world – Times of India
Raipur: Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur kicked off the Y20 consultation event at its campus with much enthusiasm and anticipation on a bright morning of February 25. The event aimed to gather young leaders from all over the world to exchange ideas and thoughts on topics that impact the youth globally.
In his welcome address, IIM Raipur director Dr. Ram Kumar Kakani expressed his belief that the Y20 Consultation event is a powerful driver of a global transformation. He highlighted the importance of coming together to address the challenges posed by terrorism, socialist groups, and societal feudalism.
Governments have a critical role to play in striking a balance between upholding human rights and maintaining law and order.
Inter-community dialogue is crucial to ensuring that peace and harmony prevail. He encouraged the participants to engage in active discussions and brainstorming sessions throughout the event so that they could generate innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues.
Union minister of state for tribal affairs Renuka Singh emphasized the importance of the Y20 Consultation event as an opportune moment to pay tribute to all the freedom fighters who secured India’s independence and contributed to its progress.
To tackle issues effectively, it is necessary to engage in multilateral dialogues and forums. Despite the difficulties that India has faced, the country has played a crucial role in promoting world peace since gaining independence. She cited examples of how the conflict had been curbed in Jammu and Kashmir and Northeastern states, where the youth are thriving. She expressed optimism that the discussions in this consultation would aid in peacebuilding and enable us to achieve the goal of “Vasudev Kutumbakam.”
A panel discussion on the subject of “Channelizing youth in conflict resolution,” was conducted. Dr Ajay Kumar Singh, Ex-CS, Assam, Bodoland peace negotiator, the young generation should follow the establishment of peace, uphold and preserve that.
Dr Mohit Garg, SP, Balrampur, frontline LWE experience, said that gradual erosion of faith in the system and in the government can be observed in naxal conflicted areas. The trust can be earned through getting in touch with the younger generation belonging to these areas, having conversations with them, and planning activities for them to participate in, including educational, cultural, and athletic pursuits. Mohd Aijaz Asad, Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar emphasized that acts of terrorism and violence stifle the aspirations of the youth.
Reinhard Baumgarten, Reputed journalist, international conflict zones, German, brought up the conflict in Sudan and suggested that love could serve as a foundation for lasting peace. Priyanka Bissa, Youth icon, Nehru Yuva Kendra, said that the discussion of wars also brings up the issues related to food, water, and resources, national security.
The second-panel discussion on Experience Sharing Peace-making, Peacebuilding, and Peacekeeping was moderated by Baloda Bazar district collector Rajat Bansal.
The panelists of this session were Brig. Basant K Ponwar (Retd.), AVSM, VSM (Ex-Director, Counter-Terrorism, and Jungle Warfare College), Ratan Lal Dangi, Director, CG State Police Academy, Rob York, Director, Regional Affairs, Pacific Forum, USA and Dr Aditi Narayani, Track chair Y20.
The key takeaway from this session was that resolving problems through the use of weapons is not effective and that the way of thinking is more important than the tools available.
The third-panel talk, overseen by Raipur collector Dr Sarveshwar Narendra Bhure, was focused on building consensus among communities. The panel included Nitesh Kumar Sahu, a young leader from Mungeli, Chhattisgarh; Dr Philippe Eyebe Awono, an assistant professor at Jean Moulin University; and Shwetha Karambelkar, a 2nd year PGP student from IIM Raipur.
One of the significant speakers in this session was B Markam, an ex-naxalite, who later surrendered and brought peace and transformation in the communities.
The session highlighted the significance of the United Nations and Indian leaders such as Gandhi and Buddha in advocating for peace. India’s demographic dividend is its youth population, the largest in the world.
However, when it comes to building communities and promoting peace, citizens are not fully involved as peacemakers tend to focus on suppressing conflicts rather than resolving them.
Another session moderated by the first-year PGP students of IIM Raipur was focused on Multiple perspectives on reconciliation. The speaker Dr. Prem Singh Bogzi (Visiting Distinguished Professor, IIM Raipur) commented that reconciliation involves recognizing that past actions may not have been ideal or efficient, but it requires bringing about social, economic, and political transformations and establishing a shared vision for moving forward.
