On the occasion of #NationalYouthDay and the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take part in the concluding session of the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on Monday.
The event will feature direct interaction between the Prime Minister and nearly three thousand young participants, including international youth representatives. The dialogue has brought together young leaders from across the country who have been actively engaging in discussions over the past few days. During the final session, selected participants will present their ideas before the Prime Minister on ten key themes. These include youth education, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, social development and governance. The presentations will offer practical suggestions on matters of national importance and reflect the aspirations of India’s next generation.
Ahead of the programme, Prime Minister Modi shared his enthusiasm about meeting young leaders. In a post on social media platform X, he said, “Our youth, filled with incredible enthusiasm and unmatched passion, are committed to building a strong and prosperous nation.” He added that he looks forward to interacting with young participants from across the country. The Prime Minister highlighted that the energy, innovation and dedication of young Indians play a vital role in driving the nation’s progress. He also said the dialogue offers a meaningful platform for youth from diverse backgrounds to share ideas, express their goals and contribute to the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
The Prime Minister also reposted a message by Union Minister of Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya, who welcomed the participants arriving in the capital. “Sashakt Yuva, Viksit Bharat! Three thousand energetic youth from across the country have reached Delhi for the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue,” Mandaviya wrote. He added that this strong and inspired youth force, rooted in India’s cultural values, is ready to present its vision for a developed India before the Prime Minister.
Building on the success of its first edition, the 2026 dialogue, held from January 9 to 12, has introduced new initiatives such as Design for Bharat and Tech for Viksit Bharat. These focus on technology driven solutions and innovation. The participation of the Indian youth diaspora has also brought in a valuable global perspective.
Concluding on National Youth Day, the dialogue aims to go beyond discussion and become a movement. It seeks to inspire young Indians to lead with confidence, address national challenges and play an active role in nation building.
