Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025, appealed to the youth to take ownership Of “Viksit Bharat”.
“I have faith that India’s Yuva Shakti will make India a developed nation… People who calculate data may think that it is impossible I know that it is a huge target but not impossible,” he said.
“Any country has to achieve big targets to grow and prosper. Some people have “chalta hai chalne do” attitude and think it is unnecessary to make changes. But people who have this kind of attitude are no better than dead corpses. The only thing that drives our lives is our goals. Today’s Bharat is driven by goals,” PM Modi emphasised.
Addressing the event, the prime minister said, “Today, the energy of India’s youth has filled Bharat Mandapam with vigour. The entire nation is remembering Swami Vivekananda today. Swami Vivekananda had immense faith in the youth of the country. He used to say, ‘My faith lies in the new generation, the young generation will find solutions to all problems.’ Just as Swami Vivekananda had faith in you all, I have faith in him. I believe in everything he used do. What he envisioned and said for India’s youth, I have unwavering belief in them.”
He said that India has accomplished its goals in various sectors and the country is well ahead of time.
“Setting and achieving big goals is not just the work of any one government machinery, it is a must that every citizen of the country joins it… Lakhs of people have joined it. The ownership of the ‘Viksit Bharat’ is not just mine but yours too,” said PM Modi.
The prime minister said that no power can stop India if our every decision, step and policy is guided by the idea of ‘Viksit Bharat’.
He recalled how some athletes few months said that to them he is not the country’s prime minister but PM or ‘Param Mitra’ (best friend).
“A few months ago, I met a group of young athletes at my residence, and one of them stood up and said, ‘Modi ji, you might be the PM for the world, but for us, PM means ‘Param Mitra’. I have immense trust in you. It is this faith that drives the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue. My belief is that with the strength of India’s youth, India will soon become a developed nation,” he said.
He further pledged to make India a developed country by 2047.
