Message from the Club

Ganesh Thapa

Mr. Ganesh Thapa

Advisor

As an advisor, I have witnessed the Youth Solidarity Festival grow into a powerful platform for youth expression through art, music, and culture. The 2023 revival was not just a return, but a reawakening of unity and creativity. The enthusiasm since then proves its lasting impact. I am proud of the students' dedication and hope this year's festival continues to strengthen youth connections and national solidarity.

President, Youth Solidarity Club

As President of the Youth Solidarity Club, I see the festival as more than an event—it is a movement driven by youth passion and purpose. Since 2023, it has shown what young people can accomplish with the right platform. We aim to create a space where every voice counts. I welcome all supporters to join us in making the 2025 edition a landmark celebration of Nepal's youth.
