An Initiative with a National Purpose
Veterans Club Odisha, in association with the State Book Trust of Odisha, proudly presents SANKALP–2026 — a unique and historic Joint Venture Programme conceived as a Youth Conclave with a larger national purpose.
SANKALP–2026 is an initiative to connect the experience of our Veterans, thinkers, writers and eminent personalities with the energy, aspirations and imagination of Gen Z and Gen Alpha. The Conclave seeks to inspire young minds towards Patriotism, Nationalism, Courage, Nation Building and Social Responsibility, while creating a deeper understanding of Women Empowerment, Road Safety and the importance of respecting Veterans and Elders.
Distinguished Voices • Diverse Perspectives
The programme will bring together distinguished voices from diverse fields. We are privileged to have Naik Deep Chand, Ketaki Jani and several other distinguished writers, veterans, intellectuals and eminent personalities sharing their experiences, thoughts and perspectives with the younger generation.
Through our association with the State Book Trust of Odisha, several National Media channels are also joining hands with this initiative, giving SANKALP–2026 a wider platform for meaningful dialogue and public engagement.
