Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025 at Bharat Mandapam on the occasion of National Youth Day, commemorating the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. The Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue aims to break the 25-year-old tradition of holding the National Youth Festival in a conventional manner. It aligns with the Prime Minister's Independence Day call to engage 1 lakh youth in politics without political affiliations and provide them with a national platform to turn their ideas for a Viksit Bharat into reality.
