India's GDP will rise to $38 trillion in 20 years: Ajit Doval
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said the students are fortunate to be living in a transformative era where their future holds great promise
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval announced on September 19, 2026 that India's GDP will surge from its current $4.015 trillion to $38 trillion within the next two decades. Delivering the keynote address at IIT Roorkee's convocation ceremony as chief guest, Doval expressed optimism about the transformative era in which students find themselves.
He invoked the example of Lord Ram, urging young people to demonstrate courage in their lives, much like the character's decision to vanquish demons as advised by sage Vishwamitra. Doval emphasized that significant transformations are underway in India, steering the nation towards a "magnificent future." He highlighted the designation of the period preceding 2047 as "Amrit Kaal" by the Prime Minister, describing it as a "wonderful Amrit Kaal."
Citing a personal anecdote from his time posted in Sikkim, Doval shared three key mantras for success in life: knowing one's position on the map, identifying the destination, and charting the path to achieve both goals.
