The strength of India's young population will help realise the dream of a "Viksit Bharat" (developed nation) by 2047, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday at the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, and added that a developed India will be one that is "empowered economically, strategically, socially and culturally".

NEW DELHI:

During the event, held on the occasion of Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary that is observed as the National Youth Day, the prime minister spent over six hours with the young participants after arriving at the venue at around 10 am. Over 3,000 "dynamic, young leaders" were chosen from across the country to attend the dialogue following a selection process.

According to officials, the PM watched their exhibition, heard their ideas and saw 10 presentations made by the participants on a range of issues, including sustainable development, integrating technology with agriculture, and making India a manufacturing and startup hub. He later had lunch with the young leaders and exhorted them to become part of the journey towards achieving that dream of a "Viksit Bharat".
