ABVP’s national general secretary

Solanki has been active in ABVP since 2014. Through 'MeDeVision' - an initiative of ABVP for allopathy students, he has provided national leadership to medical and dental students and has played a pivotal role in resolving their key concerns. He led a successful campaign at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV), Indore, demanding the suspension of the vice chancellor on the charges of corruption and irregularities in examinations.

He successfully led a movement in MP demanding reimbursement of commercialisation-driven fee hikes in private medical colleges. In 2018, he also played a key role in protecting the academic futures of students from another private medical college, which was shut down suddenly.
