On National Youth Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, celebrating the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. This event aims to break the 25-year tradition of the National Youth Festival and provide a platform for young leaders. It aligns with the Prime Minister’s call to involve 1 lakh youth in politics, regardless of political affiliation, to turn their ideas for a developed India into action. During the event, young leaders will present ideas on key topics like technology, sustainability, women empowerment, manufacturing, and agriculture. The Prime Minister will also release a compilation of the best essays from participants on these themes, inspiring and motivating the next generation of leaders.
