The conclave also focused on exploring frameworks for future collaboration on youth development and aligning national youth goals with industry-led initiatives.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, said that the youth of the country are the key drivers in realising the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

She said that the government’s goal is to align the industries’ and associations’ efforts with the My Bharat platform to increase visibility and ensure that all industry-led programmes, including skilling, mentorship, and experiential learning programmes, reach the districts and villages across the country. She said that this will maximise the benefits for the nation’s youth and yield excellent outcomes, empowering them to step forward and contribute to nation-building.
