Young Leaders in the Digital World

Sonada,  21 July, 2025 - Salesian College Sonada, in collaboration with Project Missio, conducted an  Animation Programme on 20 July, 2025 for young leaders hailing from  26 villages on the theme “Leaders in the Digital World”.

 

The event witnessed enthusiastic participation by 69 young leaders representing the youth centres where the brothers from the college organize regular Sunday youth activities.  

 

The programme commenced with a warm introduction by Br. Vivek Rai and Br. Cyril Lepcha, followed by the lighting of the ceremonial lamp by the dignitaries. 

In his welcome address, Fr. Johny Nedungatt SDB, the Rector shared an inspiring message on the importance of youth empowerment and leadership in today’s world. The youth of Rungmook added a cultural touch with the lively performance of a traditional Nepali dance.

 

The main session, animated by Mr. Rashik Chettri, an ex-faculty member of the Salesian College, offered deep insights into the essence of leadership. He emphasized that leaders are not born but made. He said that leaders are those who carry fire in their hearts, possess the willingness to learn, and are always ready for action. He stressed that true leadership begins with self-management, which involves control over one’s thoughts, body, and soul. 

 

Following the session, participants enjoyed a very delicious lunch. Zonal level discussions chaired by the brothers were the after lunch events. Fr. Clement Lakra, the Youth Service Coordinator, facilitated a general session where major events of the year ahead were planned with the young leaders.
