Union External Affairs Dr S Jaishankar, today, said India is on the way to addressing longstanding challenges to build a modern, inclusive and progressive society. He said ‘our quest is unique because the largest nation in the world is developing in that manner in a democratic framework. The Minister stressed that the mantra of that journey is to advance, as Prime Minister Modi says, advance on the two legs of technology and tradition. Dr Jaishankar also said youth can surely be the defining factor in the pace of that endeavour and the realisation of our goals.
Addressing the Youth Pravasi Bhartiya Divas Convention, jointly organised by the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and Odisha Government, at Bhubaneswar this morning, the External Affairs Minister said India has just started a journey towards ‘Viksit Bharat’ in the Amrit Kaal. He added that this is an endeavour which is very much about the future generation. In this period, the youths will come to the front ranks of our society and lead our nation. He said a large part of the Government is to give the right motivation to the younger generation to accelerate their efforts. The Minister remarked that given the rapidity of changes underway, it is also essential that we step up efforts to keep the diaspora continuously connected. Union Ministers Kirti Vardhan Singh, Pabitra Margherita, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Raksha Nikhil Khadse and Chief Minister of Odisha Mohan Charan Majhi attended the Convention.
