Addressing the ‘Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue’ here, Modi said some people may find the goal of India becoming developed difficult but it is not impossible. The capabilities of India’s young population will power the country’s rise to becoming developed, he said.

No power can stop India from becoming a developed country if the spirit of ‘Viksit Bharat’ guides its every step, policy and decision, he said, highlighting the strength and numbers of the country’s young population.

“The strength of India’s youth will make India a developed nation. Big targets have to be set for a country to march forward… This is what today’s India is doing,” Modi said, adding that the country is accomplishing numerous goals in different sectors ahead of time.

“A developed India will be the one that is empowered economically, strategically, socially and culturally,” he added.

Modi noted that India has set the target of 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol by 2030 and will meet the goal before that.

The prime minister said that the government alone cannot drive the country forward and told youngsters drawn from across the country that the ownership in ‘Viksit Bharat’ is not Modi’s alone but also of them.
