A Privilege to Moderate a Conversation for Change
I feel truly honored to have moderated the educational seminar “Punjab at Crossroads: Teach or Preach,” organized by The Kalgidhar Society — an organization dedicated to transforming lives through two universities and 130 schools spread across five states in India. With a remarkable alumni network of 70,000 students, the Society has extended free assistance to 32,332 learners, creating opportunities where they are needed most.
Addressing Punjab’s Critical Challenges
Our conversation focused on key issues that urgently need collective attention:
- Limited Economic Opportunities — The necessity to create diverse career pathways for Punjab’s youth.
- Drug Abuse Crisis — Confronting one of the most pressing social threats to the state’s future.
- Increasing Migration — Understanding why young talent is leaving and how to reverse the trend.
An Esteemed Panel of Experts
It was an absolute honor to share the stage with highly respected professionals from the corporate sector and family enterprises:
- Mr. Manpreet Singh Ahuja — Chief Clients & Alliances Officer, PwC
- Mr. Jogendra Singh — President & Group CFO, Hero Enterprise
- Mr. Kanwar Singh — Vice President Finance, Oracle India
- Mr. Lavinder Singh Duggal — MD, HTL Aircon Services Pvt Ltd
Their deep insights brought multiple perspectives to the discussion, merging business experience with the educational and social realities of Punjab.
An Engaged and Inspired Audience
With over 150 participants, the seminar was more than an exchange of ideas — it was a platform for actionable change. Educators, corporate leaders, and community members discussed ways to uplift Punjab’s youth through skill development, value-based education, and societal support.
My Takeaway
Moderating this event reaffirmed my belief that education, when paired with compassion and opportunity, has the power to reshape entire communities. I commend The Kalgidhar Society for their tireless efforts in building not only educated minds but also responsible, value-driven citizens.
Thanks From The Kalgidhar Society
