Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take part in the closing session of the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026 on Monday, coinciding with National Youth Day, which marks the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. The event will be held at Bharat Mandapam in the national capital.
The concluding session will bring the Prime Minister face-to-face with nearly 3,000 young participants, including representatives from abroad.
These young leaders have been part of intensive discussions over the past few days, exchanging ideas on the future direction of the country.
During the final interaction, selected participants will present their recommendations directly to the Prime Minister.
Their suggestions focus on ten broad themes of national relevance, covering areas such as education, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, social progress and governance.
Ahead of the programme, Prime Minister Modi shared his enthusiasm about engaging with the youth.
In a message posted on social media platform X, he described young Indians as a powerful force driven by energy, passion and a strong commitment to building a prosperous nation.
He noted that the dialogue offers a meaningful opportunity to listen to their ideas and aspirations.
The Prime Minister has repeatedly underlined that innovation and dedication among the youth are central to India’s growth story, and platforms like this dialogue encourage constructive participation in nation-building.
स्वामी विवेकानंद का मानना था कि युवा शक्ति ही राष्ट्र-निर्माण की सबसे सशक्त आधारशिला है। भारतीय युवा अपने जोश और जुनून से हर संकल्प को साकार कर सकते हैं।
