Youth Role Essential for India's Future Development

As India approaches its centenary of independence in 2047, Union Minister Jitendra Singh emphasizes the critical role of youth in shaping the nation's future, calling them 'architects of a developed India.' With over 50% of the population under 25, the potential for transformative change is significant, particularly through investments in education and technology. Singh highlights the need for young people to leverage the opportunities provided by government initiatives, including the Start-Up India campaign and the abolition of outdated regulations. He asserts that India's global perception has improved since 2014, thanks to effective policies and leadership under Prime Minister Modi. Critics, however, argue that the current government has failed to adequately address the needs of marginalized communities and youth suffering from unemployment and drug addiction. Overall, the focus remains on empowering the youth to drive economic and social progress in the coming decades.
