Energy, dedication of youth will help in realising the Viksit Bharat vision: Mansukh Mandaviya

New Delhi, August 12

The energy, innovation, and dedication of youth are the key to realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047, said Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Mansukh Mandaviya here on Monday.

Mandaviya said this in his keynote address at the 'Impact With Youth Conclave 2024' in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on Monday.

The event, jointly organised by United Nations India, UNICEF, UNICEF YuWaah, and Elixir Foundation in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, attracted hundreds of young people dedicated to unlocking their potential.

Highlighting the role of youth in realising the vision of a developed India (Viksit Bharat), Mandaviya said, "The youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow but the change-makers of today. Your energy, innovation, and dedication are key to realising the Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047."

Mandaviya said that India is a youthful country, and the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has the utmost confidence in their capabilities and is leaving no stone unturned in empowering them and providing them with the best of opportunities.

Talking about the transformative potential of digital technologies, Mandaviya urged the youth to register on the 'MY Bharat' platform. He mentioned that the government has introduced this platform to align the country's future with the changing times.

"In the coming days, MY Bharat will serve as a one-stop solution for all the needs of the youth. Whether it's information, career applications, or form submissions, this platform will be accessible not only at the national level but also internationally," he said.

In a special segment titled 'Yuvaa Samvaad,' Mandaviya engaged in an interactive dialogue with the youth. Numerous young participants shared their inspiring stories of overcoming challenges and driving positive change in their communities, underscoring their potential and determination to make meaningful contributions to society.

The Union Minister also encouraged the youth to actively participate in the Prime Minister's 'Plant4Mother' initiative, highlighting the crucial role of young people in environmental conservation and sustainable practices.

Cynthia McCaffrey, UNICEF Representative in India and Co-Chair of the UNICEF YuWaah board, stressed the importance of engaging youth in global action.

United Nations' International Youth Day, observed globally on August 12 each year, highlights the importance of young individuals in shaping the world's future. This year's theme, 'From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development,' underscores how digitalisation is transforming our world and offering unprecedented opportunities to accelerate sustainable development. Digital technologies such as mobile devices, services, and artificial intelligence are instrumental in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
