Over 250 youths from 40 universities, hailing from six countries, will participate in the event.
"It is an attempt towards bringing the youth from the South Asian countries to a common platform for sharing views, experiences, innovations and common ideas so that a common agenda in taking the future regional challenges can be taken up," Punjabi University Vice Chancellor Jaspal Singh said.
He hoped that the first-of-its kind event being hosted by the institution would open new vistas for youth activities in it, its affiliated colleges, regional centres and neighbourhood campuses.
