Mohan Bhagwat warns youth could become a burden if not properly equipped, employed and guided
Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, speaking to young people at an event marking the 80th Independence Day in Nagpur, emphasized that India's young population could become a powerful engine of growth if properly nurtured. He cautioned that the youth could also become a burden if not adequately equipped, employed, and guided.
Bhagwat described India's youth as a "demographic dividend" and urged them to be mindful of their responsibilities towards the future generations. He asserted that India should develop its own benchmarks for progress, considering its unique challenges such as a large population, limited geographical space, and diverse resource base.
The RSS chief stressed the importance of manual labor, industry, and entrepreneurship, urging young people to take risks and overcome setbacks. He emphasized that India has a responsibility to offer its own perspective to the world, stating that progress cannot solely be measured by material advancement.
