In his 'Mann Ki Baat' radio broadcast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged India's youth to join politics, emphasizing that their involvement would be transformative for the country's future. He highlighted the positive response to his Independence Day call for one lakh youth without political backgrounds to enter politics, noting that many young people are eager to contribute but need the right opportunities and guidance. Modi criticized the opposition for nepotism and stressed the need for a collective effort similar to India's freedom struggle to achieve the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India) by 2047. He also praised various initiatives, including sanitation workers in Madhya Pradesh creating artwork from waste and the growing space startup ecosystem, celebrating India's first National Space Day on August 23. Modi called for collective efforts to improve the environment and foster a robust democracy.
