"Committed to strong and prosperous nation": PM Modi to interact with young leaders at Viksit Bharat Dialogue 2.0

PM Narendra Modi to interact with youth leaders at Viksit Bharat Dialogue 2.0 in Delhi and participate in events at Gujarat's Somnath temple.

"Our youth power... is committed to a strong and prosperous nation. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, January 10

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday expressed his eagerness to interact with young leaders from across the country during the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders' Dialogue 2.0, scheduled from January 10 to 12 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.

The first edition of the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue was held in January 2025 at the same venue.

In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, "Our youth power, filled with amazing enthusiasm and unparalleled zeal, is committed to a strong and prosperous nation. I am extremely eager to engage in dialogue with my young counterparts from across the country in the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders' Dialogue. I look forward to meeting all of you in this program on January 12."

In his monthly edition of the Mann Ki Baat radio program last month, the Prime Minister said he is "looking forward" to the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue (VBYLD), to be organised on January 12. PM Modi also confirmed his participation in the event.

"Many young people ask me how they can give a presentation of their ideas to me? The solution to this curiosity of young minds is the 'Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue'... On the 12th of next month, 'National Youth Day' will be celebrated on the occassion of Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary. The 'Young Leaders' Dialogue' will also be organised on that day, and I will definitely participate in it as well... I am looking forward to this event," PM Modi said.

Prime Minister Modi will visit Somnath in Gujarat on 10-11 January 2026 to participate in the Somnath Swabhiman Parv.

Today, at around 8 PM, the Prime Minister will participate in Omkar Mantra chanting, and thereafter he will view the Drone show at Somnath temple.

On 11 January, at around 9:45 AM, the Prime Minister will participate in the Shaurya Yatra, a ceremonial procession organised to honour the countless warriors who laid down their lives defending the Somnath Temple.

A good initiative, but I hope this dialogue leads to concrete policy actions and not just remains a talking platform. Our youth need more job opportunities and support for startups on the ground.

As someone working in the education sector here, I appreciate the focus on youth. However, I hope the selection of "young leaders" is truly diverse and includes voices from smaller towns and varied socio-economic backgrounds, not just the usual urban elite.

The timing on National Youth Day, Swami Vivekananda Jayanti, is perfect. His ideals of strength and self-reliance are exactly what today's youth need to imbibe. A strong cultural and spiritual foundation is key to a prosperous nation.
