Emphasising the significant role of the youth in shaping a 'Viksit Bharat', Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday announced a landmark initiative, the 'Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue', which will take place in New Delhi, on January 11-12.
In his monthly "Mann Ki Baat" address, he said the grand event, marking the 162nd birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, will serve as a platform for crores of youth across the country to unite, deliberate, and present ideas for India's future.
Thousands of young individuals, meticulously selected from villages, blocks, districts, and states, will gather for it.
Speaking about the event, the PM expressed his vision for fostering new leadership and nurturing grassroots political engagement. "From the ramparts of the Red Fort, I have urged the youth with no political lineage to step into politics. 'Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue' is another step in that direction," he said.
The dialogue will feature national and international experts, thought leaders, and dignitaries. The PM himself will participate and interact with the youth, encouraging them to present innovative ideas for the nation's progress.
These insights will contribute to creating a comprehensive roadmap for India's future.
In the 116th episode of the monthly programme, the PM also shared his own National Cadet Corps (NCC) experience, saying it instills a spirit of discipline, leadership and service in the youth.
