With Lok Sabha Elections just round the corner, every political party and their Leaders are on their toes to convince the voters to vote for them. The large sections of voters who will decide the future course of the formation of a new government are the youth of the country.

Principal Dr. Madhu Prashar appreciated the initiative of Philosophical Society and said that it is high time for everyone to exercise their voting rights and contribute in the nation development. She added that “Democracy is the best form of government because it provides individual an opportunity to participate and choose the government”
Dharambir, student of the campus said that Lok Sabha Elections 2009 is of great importance as a lot of issues regarding development are in the main stream politics of the country, today.

But the need is to exercise critical rational thinking to whom should they vote”. She further said that, today India needs leaders like Mother Teresa, Medha Patekar, Yogendra Yadav who can be said the true representatives of the country.
