-Prime Minister Narendra Modi (in 'Mann ki Baat' address)

Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his 'Mann ki Baat'
address, has invited the youth to take an active role in shaping the
nation’s future. He urged them to join politics, especially those from
families with no political background,
emphasising the importance of fresh
perspectives in leadership.
The Ministry of Youth Affairs
has reimagined the upcoming
National Youth Festival
commemorating the birth
anniversary of youth icon, Swami
Vivekananda into the Viksit
Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue.

The Viksit Bharat Young
Leaders Dialogue stands
as a testament to Swami
Vivekananda’s timeless
ideals of youth
empowerment and
nation-building.

Through dialogue,
collaboration, and
contribution, India’s
young minds will not
only honour Swami
Vivekananda’s legacy
but also lead the
nation to a brighter
future.
