On the 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced several new initiatives for the youth of India from the Red Fort. The Prime Minister highlighted that a Viksit Bharat must be linked with the youth of the nation.

Under the artificial intelligence (AI) skill courses, one crore youth will be trained. Additionally, free online coaching classes will be provided for those preparing for various competitive examinations.

The Prime Minister also announced a nationwide campaign, Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan, aimed at creating a drug-free India, stressing that combatting drug addiction should be a collective responsibility of society.

Addressing drug addiction as a significant challenge for the country, Modi urged volunteers, NGOs, social and cultural organisations, and spiritual leaders to join the 100-week campaign. He emphasized that India should aim to participate in at least three-fourths of the Olympics events by 2036, calling it a talent hunt to identify children aged 5 to 15 across the country.
