Kiphire, November 8 (MExN): MY Bharat Kiphire organised the Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament (VBY Parliament) 2026–27 Speech Competition in Kiphire on November 7, with enthusiastic participation from young people.
The programme was attended by Rosy Sangtam, SDO (Civil), Kiphire, as the special guest.
Addressing the participants, Sangtam encouraged them to bring creativity, originality and fresh perspectives into their ideas rather than relying entirely on information generated through Artificial Intelligence (AI). She urged the youth to think independently and develop their own perspectives, emphasising that technology should be used as a tool to enhance their abilities and not replace creativity and critical thinking.
Kishore Dulam, District Youth Officer, MY Bharat Kiphire, encouraged the young speakers to give their best in every opportunity they received. He said sincere efforts, dedication and effective utilisation of time were essential for personal growth and success.
He urged the participants to make the best use of their time and available opportunities so that they would not regret failing to give their best in life.
The competition was evaluated by a panel of jury members comprising Major Lovejot Singh of 30 Assam Rifles, Albert Jingru, Tsosing, Tsarose Sangtam and Pisaliba.
The jury members provided feedback and constructive suggestions to the participants, helping them identify their strengths and areas for improvement. Their guidance made the competition a learning experience beyond the spirit of winning.
The programme aimed to provide a platform for young people to express their views, strengthen their public speaking skills, develop leadership qualities and actively engage in discussions on nation-building.
The event concluded with the distribution of certificates and prizes.
