Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains inaugurated the four-day Summit – held from 7th July to 10th July -- as the Chief Guest in the presence of Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Chancellor of Chandigarh University, Satnam Singh Sandhu along with other dignitaries.

This Summit was attended by CEOs, Vice Presidents, industry leaders, Bollywood actors, political figures and renowned artists to share their thoughts with students to help them prepare for the changing job roles in the rapidly evolving industry.

 About 3200 students from various streams selected from 20 States and Union Territories including Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Delhi, Bihar, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Northeast, Maharashtra, Odisha, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and other states attended the Summit.  On the first day, which was attended by 800 students, the chief guests felicitated 10 batches of top 15 scholarship holder students.

The opening day of the 2nd CU Scholars' Summit 2025 included star-studded interactive sessions with motivational speakers, industry experts and celebrities including Bollywood Actor Gulshan Grover, Puneet Ahluwalia, Managing Director, Accenture India Pvt Ltd and Manish Piplani, Lead- Emerging Tech and Innovation Centre, Yamaha Motor Private Limited (IYM).

In his keynote address, Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains said India can become a superpower only through startups.

“Considering the population of India, we should be number one in Startups because there are very limited number of jobs. Why should we give our best talent and minds to foreign companies like Google or Microsoft who pay Rs 1 Crore pay package but expect Rs 100 Crore work. Thus we are losing that Rs 100 Crore, it’s going to some other country. So we have thought beyond jobs and work to create startups. Companies like Amazon, Facebook, Meta, Flipkart and Ola all started with an idea and their turnover is now better than in many good countries. So, one idea can change the whole nation,” he added.
