Theme: Vision Towards Zenith

The theme for TEDXYouth@LAHSGwalior is: “VISION TOWARDS ZENITH”. We believe that the title speaks of itself. Since time immemorial, every considerate human being has desired to enjoy the best of life; in other words ‘to stay on the zenith’. Though the definition of this ‘Best’ may vary from person to person, one thing is sure – when one achieves that desired ‘Best’ in his life, such a person is said to have touched the core of SUCCESS. However, success does not come as a random result. It is sum total of various elements like diligence, persistence, perseverance, positive attitude and so on. People are always curious to hear leadership stories and perch on the idea which leads one to the ‘Zenith’ of success through a clarity of vision. So, this is the catch! We believe that the talks at TEDXYouth@LAHSGwalior will inspire the audience with articulation of that ‘vision’ which took the speaker to the ‘zenith’ in his/her respective area.
