Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said India’s achievements in the field of science, innovations and the expansion of technology have greatly impressed countries across the globe and the whole world is is looking at the country with great hope because of its “youth power”.
In his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio broadcast, Modi also said that on January 12, the ‘National Youth Day’ will be celebrated on Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary when a ‘Young Leaders Dialogue’ will also be organised.
“Today, the world is looking at India with great hope. The biggest reason for hope in India is our youth power. Our achievements in the field of science, new innovations, and the expansion of technology have greatly impressed countries around the world,” he noted.
Modi said the youth of India always have a passion for something new and are equally aware. He said many youth often ask him how they can further contribute to nation-building and share their ideas.
He said answer to this curiosity of the youth is the ‘Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue’, whose first edition was held last year.
“On the 12th of next month, ‘National Youth Day’ will be celebrated on the occasion of Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. A ‘Young Leaders Dialogue’ will also be held on this day, and I will certainly participate in that. In this, our youth will share their ideas on important topics like innovation, fitness, start ups, and agriculture. I am very eager about this programme,” he said.
