India Commences Its G20 Presidency With ‘University Connect’: Why Must the Youth Be Aware of This?

India Commences Its G20 Presidency With 'University Connect': On Dec 1, 2022, India officially took office as the G20 President. The primary issues India will aim to address are counter-terrorism and global problems such as tedious economic growth and climate change. Be that as it may, during a press conference, the UGC chairman, Shri M. Jagadesh Kumar, hailed the country's initiative to kickstart the presidency with "University Connect". Such an initiative aims to bring students of various Indian universities together to display how India can set an example of resolving global issues using peace, harmony, healing and hope.

Furthermore, when college students begin the G20 presidency with a program of their own, it will send a strong message to the member nations and the entire world that India is a fast-growing young country. Therefore, the country's youth must be aware of 'University Connect', besides the formalities of the G20 event.
