In his address, Himb emphasised the importance of self-reflection and personal responsibility, urging the students to take initiative in bringing about positive change instead of attributing societal challenges to leaders or elders.

He encouraged the youth to pursue their goals with sincerity, perseverance, and humility, stating that true success is not determined by wealth or appearance but by integrity, character, and service to society.

The event will conclude on October 29 with the closing ceremony and prize distribution.
