Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stressed that the world looks at India with hope and expectations because of the power of the youth. Addressing Veer Baal Diwas at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on Thursday, Mr. Modi said the government’s biggest focus in policy is empowering the youth. He stressed that all policies, whether for the start-up ecosystem, space economy, sports, manufacturing industry, skill development, or internship schemes, are youth-centric and aimed at benefiting young people. The Prime Minister remarked that today, from start-ups to science, sports to entrepreneurship, youth power is driving new revolutions. Mr. Modi emphasized that over ten thousand Atal Tinkering Labs have been set up to foster innovation among young children.

The Prime Minister said, the magnitude of the country’s democracy embodies the teachings of the Gurus, the sacrifice of the Sahibzadas, and the mantra of national unity. He stressed that the life of the Sahibzadas teaches people not to compromise on the integrity and ideals of the nation. Mr. Modi highlighted that the Sahibzadas chose to sacrifice their lives but never wavered from the path of faith. The Prime Minister emphasized that Veer Bal Diwas teaches us that nothing is greater than the nation and national interest.

Prime Minister Modi emphasized his vision of bringing one lakh youth into politics, whose families have never been involved in active politics. He added that this initiative was crucial for the next 25 years and encouraged the youth to be part of this campaign to bring a new generation into politics. Mr. Modi announced that the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue will be held at the beginning of next year on Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. He added that millions of youth from villages, towns, and cities across the country will participate, discussing the vision and roadmap for a developed India.
