KOCHI: The two-day Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) concluded here on Sunday, August 2, 2026. The gathering marked a significant strategic shift as the organization announced a series of high-impact nationwide campaigns aimed at fostering national pride and organizational expansion.

Cultural Identity and Legal Protection

During the session, ABVP National General Secretary Virendra Singh Solanki unveiled the ‘Vande Mataram @150 Years: Campus to Campus Vande Mataram’ campaign. Solanki lauded the Parliament's passage of the Prevention of National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026, stating that providing legal protection to the honour of Vande Mataram is a historic recognition of India’s cultural identity and self-respect.

Nationwide Mobilization

In addition to the cultural campaign, the CWC launched the ‘Ek Gaav, Ek Tiranga’ drive. This initiative is set to feature massive tricolour rallies and collective singing of Vande Mataram across various villages and educational campuses leading up to Independence Day.
