Kathmandu, Aug. 22
To foster youth entrepreneurship,
leadership, management, and industrial skills development, the ‘Kathmandu Youth
Conclave 2025’ is being organised in the capital on Saturday.
Jointly organised by Universal College,
Phoenix College of Management, and Aryan School of Engineering and Management,
the conclave will focus on promoting entrepreneurship, leadership development,
creating opportunities within Nepal, preventing brain drain, and contributing
to academic development, according to the event coordinator, Raju Tandon.
The organisers hope the conclave will
serve as an ideal platform to connect young people and empower them with
essential leadership, entrepreneurial, managerial, and industrial skills.
Tandon said that the conclave is
expected to provide proper guidance to students, encourage social engagement,
and support necessary changes in traditional teaching methods.
Students from the Kathmandu Valley as
well as major cities across the country are expected to participate in the
event. “The objective is to promote innovation in education by moving beyond
conventional teaching methods. The programme also aims to assist young students
not just in their studies, but also in developing entrepreneurial and
professional skills, and to connect them with insights and experiences from
various celebrities and distinguished personalities,” read a statement issued
by the organisers.
Likewise, the conclave aims to urge the
government to take the concerns and demands of young students more seriously.
The organisers claim that at a time when interest in going abroad is rising
among youth, the event seeks to inspire them by highlighting the vast
opportunities available within Nepal itself.
During the event, Sisan Baniya will be
honoured as the KYC–2025 Youth Icon. MMA fighter Rabindra Dhant will attend as
the Guest of Honour, and popular singer Durgesh Thapa will be awarded the title
of Performer of the Year.
Former captain of the Nepali national
cricket team, Paras Khadka, along with other artists and notable figures, are also
expected to address the audience. The conclave will feature various stalls, a
gaming zone, and performances by students.
