New Delhi: The Indian youth possess the capacity to transform the country into a powerful, prosperous, and respected nation, Vidhan Sabha Speaker Vijender Gupta said on Monday.
He was addressing the participants of the state-level ‘Viksit Bharat‘ India Youth Parliament, which was organised by the Union ministry of youth affairs and sports, with the support of Delhi’s legislative assembly and Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan.
Gupta said the youth were not only the beneficiaries of development but were also the architects of its future. “This year’s Youth Parliament has been aligned with the vision of developed India@2047 to prepare a new generation of dynamic, solution-oriented, and policy-aware young leaders. It is a matter of pride for us that we are living in a time where we have unlimited opportunities to share our ideas and bring positive change in society,” he added.
Thirty participants took part in the Youth Parliament. The top-three position holders of the state-level competition will have the opportunity to participate in the national competition, which will be held in Parliament.
The Speaker further said the event promoted leadership skills, civic participation, and a deep understanding of the democratic process.
