Hindu YUVA leaders from 95 universities gathered for ‘Sankalp: The Hindu YUVA National Summit’ from September 13-15 at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Chino Hills, USA. Hindu YUVA (Youth for Unity, Virtues, and Action), which boasts 83 registered university chapters, aims to practice, promote, protect, and preserve Hindu Dharma on campuses across North America. Dr. Jaymin Kathiriya, the National President, reflected in his welcome address that “it is our collective responsibility to create a vibrant Hindu presence on university campuses with the ultimate goal of ensuring universal well-being of all students.”

The Summit’s theme, “Sankalp”, meaning to resolve, centered around a collective commitment to educating ourselves and others about Hindu identity and advocating for the challenges of university students. The event featured over 400 participants from 95 universities representing the collective strength of the Hindu YUVA leadership, along with more than 20 Hindu organizations in the areas of advocacy, media, humanitarian service, academia, and more, exploring collaborative opportunities to enhance the Hindu student experience. | More
