Gujarat dreams big and the Global Summit confirms the state’s capacity to realize the dream, he said.

He said that this global summit was not for the capitalists alone, but for the latter to take the corporate social responsibility of providing basic amenities to the poor.

Mr. Modi called for dedicating the just concluded Summit to the state’s youth and motherhood. He said the government alone cannot bring qualitative changes in the society, but people can. If the gap between the government and society can be bridged, the state can reach new heights. Gujarat is not banking on politics, but reminding people of their civic responsibilities through public policies.

He said the biggest tribute to the Mahatma Gandhi would be to make our towns and villages clean. The developed nations too, rate cleanliness as the top civic sense.

Chief Minister said that everyday he plants a dream in the minds of 5.5 crore Gujaratis. Now, nobody debates about the success of global summit, however, the focus of debate has shifted to how far the summit would benefit to the development of India.

“Everyone wish that Gujarat should scale new heights in various sectors, only because Gujarat has adopted the ways and means for the welfare of humanity.”

Chief Minister stated that out of the total investment of Rs.21-lakh crore, at least forty six percent investment has gone to small and medium scale industries. Renowned industrialist Shri Ratan Tata has accepted an obligation to contribute in social service sector through Mission Mangalam project.

Mission Mangalam scheme ensures welfare and prosperity to all; particularly it aims to inspire the corporate sectors to redeem their pledge for the welfare of women folk living below poverty line. Coming on the constructive agenda, 35 top-class corporate companies are to invest Rs.20,000-crore for the economic empowerment of around 15 lakh women through women’s self-help groups. It will bring a dawn of development in their lives, said Chief Minister.

He said that the summit witnessed corporate giants investing heavily for pro-people projects and is a proof that the summit has become successful in encouraging them to fulfill their social obligations.

He gave credit to ‘Team Gujarat’ for the success of the global summit. GUJARAT DREAMS GUJARAT DELIVERS. Gujarat commands respect and confidence of the investors based on its inherent strength and potential.

On the occasion of National Youth Day, commemorating the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will participate in the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025 on 12th January, at around 10 AM, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. He will engage with 3,000 dynamic young leaders from across India. He will also address the gathering on the occasion.

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 a national platform to make their ideas for Viksit Bharat, a reality. In line with this, on this National Youth Day, Prime Minister will participate in multiple activities designed to inspire, motivate, and empower the nation's future leaders. Innovative young leaders will make ten powerpoint presentations representing the ten thematic areas pivotal to India’s development before the Prime Minister. These presentations reflect the innovative ideas and solutions proposed by young leaders to address some of India's most pressing challenges.

Prime Minister will also release a compilation of best essays written by participants on the ten themes. These themes encompass diverse areas such as technology, sustainability, women empowerment, manufacturing, and agriculture.

In a unique setting, Prime Minister will join the young leaders for lunch, providing them an opportunity to share their ideas, experiences, and aspirations directly to him. This personal interaction will bridge the gap between governance and youth aspirations, fostering a deeper sense of ownership and responsibility among the participants.

During the Dialogue, which is starting from 11th January, the young leaders will engage in competitions, activities, and cultural and thematic presentations. It will also include deliberations on the themes led by mentors and domain experts. It will also witness cultural performances showcasing India's artistic heritage while symbolizing its modern advancements.

The 3,000 dynamic and motivated youth have been selected to participate in the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, through the Viksit Bharat Challenge, a meticulously crafted, merit-based multi level selection process to identify and showcase the most motivated and dynamic young voices from across the nation. It included three stages with participants ranging from 15 - 29 years. The first stage, Viksit Bharat Quiz, was conducted in 12 languages for youth from all states to take part, and saw participation of around 30 lakh young minds. Qualified quiz participants progressed to the 2nd stage, essay round, where they articulated their ideas on ten pivotal themes critical to realizing the vision of a "Viksit Bharat", which saw over 2 lakh essays being submitted. In the 3rd stage, State Rounds, 25 candidates per theme advanced to participate in rigorous in-person competitions. Each state identified its top three participants from each track, forming dynamic teams for the national event in Delhi.

1,500 participants from the Viksit Bharat Challenge Track, representing the top 500 teams from State Championships; 1,000 participants from the Traditional Track, chosen through state-level youth festivals, cultural programs, and exhibitions on innovation in science and technology; and 500 Pathbreakers, invited for their groundbreaking contributions in different areas will be participating in the Dialogue.
