Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the occasion of completing 11 years in office, shared a powerful message on India's youth, calling them Yuva Shakti and hailing their remarkable achievements globally. He praised the dynamism, innovation, and determination of Indian youth and emphasized their critical role in driving India’s growth and in shaping the vision of a Viksit Bharat—a developed India.

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi wrote, "India’s youth have made a mark globally. Our Yuva Shakti is associated with dynamism, innovation and determination. Our youth have driven India’s growth with unmatched energy and conviction." This statement reflects the government’s deep-rooted belief in the capabilities and potential of Indian youth across sectors.

He elaborated that over the last 11 years, the country has witnessed extraordinary contributions by youngsters in diverse fields such as startups, science, sports, community service, and culture. These contributions, according to the Prime Minister, are not isolated instances but part of a broader transformation shaped by policy shifts and innovative programmes directed at empowering the youth.

Among the key initiatives highlighted by the PM are:

• StartUp India, which has propelled India into one of the top startup ecosystems in the world.

• Skill India, a mission designed to equip youth with industry-relevant skills.

• Digital India, aimed at transforming India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.

• National Education Policy 2020, which revamps the educational landscape with a focus on flexibility, inclusivity, and innovation.

PM Modi stated that these policies are deeply rooted in the belief that youth empowerment is the most powerful tool for national progress. “I’m confident that our youth will keep strengthening the efforts to build a Viksit Bharat,” he added.

In his message, Modi also assured that his government would provide “all possible opportunities” to the Yuva Shakti to shine and reach their fullest potential. He described them as key builders of India’s future, essential to the vision of a self-reliant and inclusive India.

PM Modi Reiterates Focus on Welfare of the Poor

In another post shared recently, PM Modi described the NDA government as devoted to the welfare of the poor. He noted that the transformative impact of flagship schemes such as:

• PM Awas Yojana (providing affordable housing),

• PM Ujjwala Yojana (access to clean cooking fuel),

• Jan Dhan Yojana (banking access for the unbanked),

• Ayushman Bharat (universal healthcare coverage)

These schemes have drastically improved the quality of life for millions. Furthermore, over 25 crore people have been lifted out of poverty, thanks to comprehensive reforms and efficient delivery mechanisms.

PM Modi pointed out the role of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), digital inclusion, and rural infrastructure development in ensuring that benefits reach the intended recipients directly and without corruption or delay.

These initiatives, according to him, signify a decisive shift toward inclusive governance—a core principle of the NDA’s approach over the last decade. He said, “The NDA remains committed to building an inclusive and self-reliant India, where every citizen has the opportunity to live with dignity.”

India’s Youth as Global Change-Makers

The emphasis on youth empowerment is not new in PM Modi’s leadership narrative. However, as the NDA government completes 11 years, the spotlight on Yuva Shakti takes on a renewed significance. Indian youth have made global strides in technology, research, entrepreneurship, and cultural diplomacy, and PM Modi’s message serves as both a recognition and a call to action.

His remarks tie in with India’s recent accomplishments on the world stage—from startups reaching unicorn status, ISRO’s Chandrayaan and Gaganyaan missions, international sports achievements, to social impact startups and grassroots innovations led by young Indians. The government has repeatedly backed these successes with supportive policies and access to digital infrastructure, funding avenues, and training ecosystems.

PM Modi’s statement also aligns with his global outreach, where he often showcases India’s demographic dividend as a strategic strength. Whether addressing global forums or bilateral events, he has consistently highlighted the youth-driven future of India.

Youth Empowerment and Viksit Bharat

The concept of Viksit Bharat—a developed India by 2047—is one of PM Modi’s most ambitious visions. At the heart of this blueprint is youth empowerment. With programmes like the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme, Mission Karmayogi, and the PM Vishwakarma Yojana, the government has created multiple pathways for youth across all social and economic strata to contribute to national growth.

The message delivered on June 6, 2025, was more than a celebration of past achievements; it was a reaffirmation of the roadmap ahead. PM Modi made it clear that India’s youth will remain central to policy, reform, and progress.

The mention of policies such as NEP 2020 further reinforces this, as it signals a shift from rote learning to creativity, innovation, and multidisciplinary learning—skills that the youth will need to thrive in the modern global economy.

Inclusive Growth with Technological Backbone

Alongside the youth-centric policies, Modi’s emphasis on poor welfare schemes shows a parallel track of development. One that ensures equity along with opportunity. Through digital governance platforms, rural development projects, and micro-entrepreneurial support, the government aims to bridge the rural-urban and rich-poor divide.

The Digital India movement has also played a pivotal role in empowering youth from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, giving them access to online education, telemedicine, remote work, and e-governance services. All of this has enabled young Indians to not just consume digital services but become creators and innovators in the space.

In conclusion, PM Modi's acknowledgment of India’s Yuva Shakti is not just a rhetorical tribute but a strategic pillar in his government’s nation-building framework. As India looks toward 2047, marking a century of independence, the youth of the nation stand as the torchbearers of a Viksit Bharat, empowered with knowledge, backed by inclusive policies, and driven by the shared vision of a prosperous, self-reliant, and globally respected India.
