Addressing the gathering, Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, Raksha Nikhil Khadse said, nation-building requires the active participation of youth, whose ideas, energy, and leadership will shape the country over the next 25 years.

Recalling Swami Vivekananda’s belief that youth are the real strength of the nation, the Union Minister said, when organized, young people can make even the impossible possible. She welcomed the launch of the MY Bharat initiative, noting that more than two crore youth from across the country have already registered on the portal. She urged young citizens to take the idea forward in colleges and districts, encouraging maximum participation to foster a spirit of national commitment and patriotism.
