Building upon the success of its inaugural edition, the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026 is being held from January 9 to 12 and marks a significant expansion in scope. Introducing initiatives such as Design for Bharat and Tech for Viksit Bharat, the event broadens discussions to innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology-led solutions.
Importantly, participation from the Indian youth diaspora brings an international outlook, enabling the exchange of global best practices and fresh perspectives on India’s development journey.
Ultimately, concluding on January 12, the dialogue coincides with National Youth Day, observed in honour of Swami Vivekananda. Moreover, beyond being a discussion forum, the initiative aspires to grow into a movement that motivates young Indians to take leadership roles, address national challenges, and contribute actively to nation-building.
