Empowering Youth for a Developed India
In a significant event held at Kamala Nehru College in New Delhi, Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, underscored the vital role of youth in achieving the vision of a “Viksit Bharat” or Developed India. The event, titled ‘Viksit Bharat Ambassador – Yuva Connect,’ aimed to inspire students and align their aspirations with the goal of transforming India into a developed nation by its 100th year of independence in 2047. Dr. Mandaviya emphasized that the youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow but are essential to the progress and development of the nation today.
The Vision for a Developed India
Dr. Mandaviya articulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s ambitious vision for India, which aims for the country to emerge as a developed nation by 2047. He stressed that this transformation hinges on the empowerment and engagement of the youth. “To transform the nation, we must first focus on transforming the youth,” he stated. The minister called for a collective effort to make young people more ambitious, confident, and visionary. He encouraged them to align their personal goals with the broader vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat.’
The minister’s message was clear: the youth must take an active role in nation-building. He urged students to harness their potential and contribute to the country’s growth. By fostering a sense of responsibility and ambition among young people, India can move closer to realizing its developmental goals. The minister’s vision is not just about economic growth; it encompasses social, cultural, and environmental dimensions as well.
MY Bharat Platform: A Gateway for Opportunities
One of the key initiatives discussed during the event was the transformation of the MY Bharat platform. Dr. Mandaviya announced plans to develop this platform into a comprehensive, single-window resource for youth. It will provide easy access to various opportunities, tools, and resources aimed at professional growth. The MY Bharat platform will serve as a one-stop destination where young individuals can connect with mentors, explore career options, and actively participate in nation-building efforts.
The minister highlighted that this platform will empower youth to take charge of their futures. By providing them with the necessary tools and resources, the government aims to create a generation of informed and engaged citizens. The MY Bharat platform is expected to play a crucial role in bridging the gap between aspirations and opportunities, enabling young people to realize their potential fully.
Engaging Youth Through Festivals and Competitions
Dr. Mandaviya also shared exciting plans for the upcoming Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue and the National Youth Festival 2025. This year’s festival promises to be a transformative experience, featuring participation from 3,000 selected youth who will have the unique opportunity to present their ideas directly to the Prime Minister at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi. The event will also host both national and international youth icons, who will share their experiences and inspire the next generation.
Additionally, the minister announced the launch of the first phase of the “Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue” quiz competition on the MY Bharat platform. He encouraged youth to register and showcase their talents and innovative ideas. This initiative aims to engage young minds in meaningful discussions and activities that contribute to the vision of a developed India.
Dr. Mandaviya emphasized that no task is too small when it comes to contributing to the nation’s progress. He urged students to seize every opportunity, regardless of its scale, as even small efforts can lead to significant changes.
Honoring Traditions and Sustainability
During the event, Dr. Mandaviya also highlighted the importance of India’s rich traditions in achieving the goal of a ‘Viksit Bharat.’ He pointed out that the world is increasingly recognizing and embracing these traditions. Now is the time for India to take pride in its heritage and use it as a foundation for progress.
The event also featured an inspiring address from Miss Pinki Singh, an Arjuna Awardee and professional Lawn Bowler, who shared her journey and encouraged students to remain focused on their dreams. Furthermore, Dr. Mandaviya participated in a tree plantation drive under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative, reinforcing the commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
In a collective gesture of unity and respect for democratic values, the Union Minister, along with students and faculty, read the Preamble of the Constitution on the occasion of the 75th Constitution Day. The event concluded with an interactive session, where Dr. Mandaviya addressed questions from students about leveraging India’s traditional strengths and their role in shaping the future of the nation.
Through these initiatives, the government aims to empower youth, instill a sense of responsibility, and inspire them to contribute actively to the vision of a developed India by 2047.
