Perpetuating the narrative which even hardcore Bharatiya Janata Party supporters are disenchanted with, the party’s national president Nitin Nabin said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, new opportunities are being created for the youth, along with giving them a new direction. He said this while participating along with chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami in a youth dialogue programme held in Haldwani. Various topics related to career, employment, entrepreneurship, skill development, technology, sports, and the future of Uttarakhand were discussed in detail during the programme.
During the dialogue, the youth asked Nabin and Dhami questions on issues related to the development of the State and the country. They shared their experiences with various government schemes and offered suggestions regarding employment, self-employment, and the availability of better opportunities in the State.
Nabin claimed that under Modi’s leadership, new opportunities are being created for the youth, along with giving them a new direction. Initiatives like Digital India, Startup India, Skill India, Make in India and Khelo India have given youth a platform to advance according to their talents, abilities, and skills. Today’s youth are not only job seekers, but also creators of employment and new opportunities, he said.
Nabin said that in the changing economy and technological era, the role of youth is constantly increasing. New doors of opportunity have opened in areas such as artificial intelligence, startups, innovation, digital technology and entrepreneurship. Uttarakhand’s youth are brimming with talent and potential. By connecting their energy and potential with the State’s development, Uttarakhand can reach new heights.
The BJP national president said that in a mountainous State like Uttarakhand, it is important to increase local employment, self-employment, tourism, skill development, and entrepreneurship opportunities. The ideas, suggestions and aspirations of the youth can play a vital role in shaping the state’s future. He called on the youth to transform future challenges into opportunities and play an active role in building a developed India. He said that social media is a powerful medium today, and youth should use it positively for the development of the country and society. He also called on young people to step forward in politics and public life and contribute to nation-building. Time management is crucial in life, and that proper use of time is essential for success, he said.
Dhami said that youth power is the country’s greatest strength. India’s vast youth population is providing the country with new energy, new thinking, and new potential. The increasing use of technology and innovation has opened new doors of opportunity for young people. He said that the government is not limiting youth to government jobs, but also focusing on providing new opportunities for self-employment, startups and entrepreneurship. Various initiatives, including the Chief Minister’s Self-Employment Scheme, Skill Development, Home Stays, and the Chief Minister’s Udyamana Player Scheme, are providing opportunities for youth advancement.
The BJP State president Mahendra Bhatt, MP Ajay Bhatt and others were also present on the occasion.
