The Collector along with the ITDA Project Officer VP Goutham addressed the students from various colleges at Young Voters Conclave, organised here on Tuesday.

Several topics including ethical voting, c-Vigil app and others were discussed.

"One should not degrade the value of vote for the sake of temporary benefits.

Few decades ago, the right to vote was treated as most valuable right.

But, the situation has now become worrisome as people are failing to recognise the value of vote," Saini said.

The Collector told the voters to not to abstain from voting and treat the polling day as a holiday.
