As a young professional in Delhi, I appreciate the CM's message. But we should also talk about the challenges - rising competition, mental health pressures, and the need for better guidance. The Viksit Bharat vision is inspiring, but let's also address the struggles our youth face daily. More support systems, please!

Having lived in both India and abroad, I must say the energy at these youth conventions is remarkable. The government's focus on empowering young people is visible. However, I hope these platforms translate into tangible opportunities - especially for students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities who often feel left out. Keep the momentum going!
