NEW DELHI / May 25, 2026: Social
activist and NRI Congress chairman from Rottan Wali village honoured for
sustained contributions to youth empowerment and cross-border community service
Gurjinder
Singh Gavy, a social activist and
youth leader from Rottan Wali village in Sadulsahar, Sri Ganganagar district of
Rajasthan, has received the 2026 Global Recognition Award in the Service
category, an international honour acknowledging his sustained work in youth
development, overseas community engagement, and empowerment of underrepresented
groups.
Gavy
has recently been appointed Chairman, NRI and Overseas Congress Cell, Rajasthan
Pradesh Congress Committee (RPCC), a position that focuses on strengthening
institutional and cultural ties between Rajasthan and its worldwide diaspora.
He concurrently serves as National President of the Indian Overseas Youth
Congress Australia and President of the Student Union India–Australia, where he
leads initiatives for students, young professionals, and overseas Indian
communities across both nations.
A
significant milestone in Gavy's journey has been the global publication of his
book, Youth Legacy: Fire That Builds the Nation. The work articulates
his vision for youth leadership, national development, and the transformative
role of community service in shaping future leaders. The book has been released
internationally and is aimed at inspiring young people across borders to
embrace civic responsibility and social purpose.
Starting
from grassroots community efforts in his home village, Gavy has built an
international platform that spans India and Australia. His work encompasses
student assistance programmes, youth leadership forums, social welfare
initiatives, food support drives, and broader community development activities
designed to bridge the gap between rural origins and global opportunity.
“Every young person, regardless of where they come from, carries
within them the potential to lead, to serve, and to transform their community.
This recognition only deepens my commitment to that mission,” said Gavy.
Through
his leadership roles, published work, and social initiatives, Gavy continues to
expand a global mission centred on youth empowerment, international
cooperation, and meaningful service. His trajectory from a small village in
Rajasthan to international platforms is widely regarded as reflective of the
growing influence of India's overseas youth in shaping global discourse on
community development and civic leadership.
