Sharing the article on X, PM Modi said, “The story of India’s transformation over the last 12 years is also the story of its youth.
Guided by our vision, unprecedented investments in skilling, innovation and entrepreneurship, we are creating opportunities for the Amrit Peedhi to realise their aspirations and contribute to nation-building.”.
Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said the vision of a developed India rests on the well-being and empowerment of its youth.
He noted that PM Modi has consistently emphasized that India’s young population will be the driving force behind the Viksit Bharat mission and highlighted how government policies over the last twelve years have sought to channel the energy of young Indians towards innovation, achievement and national development.
Mandaviya said this is no longer an aspirational vision but an emerging reality in a country where nearly 65 per cent of the population is below the age of 35, giving India one of the world’s largest demographic advantages.
He said that education has been at the centre of this transformation.
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has introduced major reforms focused on experiential learning, multidisciplinary education and skill integration.
As a result, higher education enrolment has increased by more than 30 per cent, reflecting both greater access and rising aspirations among students.
Mandaviya also highlights efforts to make education more inclusive through residential schooling initiatives, scholarship programmes and institutional support mechanisms designed to reduce financial barriers and expand opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds.
