Assam Governor Stresses Action Over Slogans for Viksit Bharat Mission
In a significant address aimed at mobilizing the younger generation, Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya declared that the Viksit Bharat mission is a crucial endeavor entrusted to the youth of India to unlock the nation's immense latent potential. Speaking at a program themed 'Viksit Bharat and Youth', held at the Phanidhar Datta Seminar Hall in Gauhati University on Saturday, Acharya outlined a comprehensive roadmap for achieving a developed India by 2047.
Beyond Slogans: A Call for Tangible Contributions
Governor Acharya emphatically stated that building a Viksit Bharat cannot be accomplished through mere slogans or rhetoric. He underscored the necessity for concrete actions and collective efforts from every segment of society. The governor highlighted that students, entrepreneurs, innovators, technocrats, professionals, and public servants all have pivotal roles to play in this national mission. He urged each group to actively work and contribute towards the overarching goal of national development.
Key Pillars for Youth Empowerment
To realize the vision of Viksit Bharat, Acharya identified several critical areas where focus is urgently needed. He called for a strong emphasis on skill-building, entrepreneurship, discipline, digital literacy, and civic responsibility among the youth. The governor appealed directly to educational institutions across the state and country, urging them to revamp their curricula. He recommended incorporating courses specifically designed to help students nurture and develop skill sets that are relevant and essential for the 21st century.
Seva Sankalp Saptah and Youth Engagement Initiatives
The program was organized as part of the Seva Sankalp Saptah, a week-long initiative launched by Lok Bhavan, Assam, under the leadership of Governor Acharya. This event served as a platform to actively engage young minds in the Viksit Bharat discourse. A series of competitive events were held on the Gauhati University campus, including essay writing, elocution, and poster-making competitions. These activities were designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the development mission among participating students.
Governor Acharya's message resonates as a clear directive: the path to a Viksit Bharat is paved by the empowered actions of its youth, equipped with modern skills and a profound sense of duty towards the nation's progress.
