Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s transformative ‘Viksit Bharat’ agenda has the youth as its beating heart, asserted Arunachal Pradesh Governor K.T. Parnaik during a high-profile youth leadership forum in the state’s capital.
Parnaik’s passionate speech illuminated how Modi’s vision—spanning economic reforms, tech leaps, and social equity—relies on the 65% under-35 population. ‘You are the Viksit Bharat generation; own this journey,’ he exhorted the diverse audience.
Focusing on Arunachal, the Governor highlighted youth roles in ecotourism, horticulture exports, and hydropower innovations, backed by schemes like PMKVY and Mudra Yojana. Local heroes who built million-rupee businesses were felicitated.
The forum buzzed with talks on Web3, biotech, and women empowerment, fostering collaborations. Parnaik stressed cultural preservation amid modernization, vital for Northeast India’s unique identity.
State figures show youth participation in governance up 40%, aiding inclusive growth. He connected this to Modi’s global outreach, positioning India as a youth-led innovation hub.
Culminating in pledges for volunteerism and innovation challenges, the event cements Arunachal’s commitment. Parnaik’s address is a clarion call: India’s developed tomorrow is built today by its youth.
