Dr. Dharahas B. Highlights Youth as Drivers of Sustainable Development and Inclusive Technology During UN GYCS25
During the activities of the United Nations Global Youth Conference on Sustainable Development Goals 2025 (UN GYCS25), held on July 10, 2025, in India with participation from over 45 countries , Dr. Dharahas B., Chairman and Co-Founder of OpenComAI and Chief Organizer of the conference , delivered significant official interventions. Dr. B. described the conference as a transformative global event and a high-level diplomatic and development milestone. He also characterized it as a “diplomatic accelerator” for multi-stakeholder policy engagement and South-South solidarity. B. emphasized that the conference was not merely a dialogue, but a “declaration” that the era of symbolic gatherings is over, and the era of global accountability and structured youth inclusion has begun.
