Perspectives

Supporters' account: The Prime Minister’s assertion that India’s youth will drive the nation toward Viksit Bharat 2047 (Indian Express) reflects a strategic recognition of demographic reality: 65% of India’s population is under 35, a reservoir of energy and innovation poised to fuel economic and social transformation. This vision aligns with the government’s existing initiatives, such as the National Education Policy and digital literacy programs, which aim to equip this demographic with skills for a future-ready India. To dismiss this as mere rhetoric ignores the deliberate policy framework already in motion to harness youth potential as the backbone of long-term development.
