The Union Defence Minister said the country's youth have a crucial role to play in shaping India's future and contributing to the nation's development.
Addressing students at the university's convocation, Rajnath Singh emphasised the importance of education, constitutional values and democratic participation in building a stronger society.
Acquire Knowledge and Question Injustice
Rajnath Singh encouraged students to continuously expand their knowledge and use it to understand and address challenges facing society.
He said questioning injustice is an important part of a democratic society, but stressed that such efforts should be pursued through constitutional and democratic means.
According to the Defence Minister, young citizens should understand their rights and responsibilities and contribute constructively to the country's social and economic development.
He urged students to develop the confidence to raise questions and seek solutions while respecting the constitutional framework of the country.
Youth Must Become Job Creators
Rajnath Singh also highlighted the need for India's youth to move beyond being job seekers and aspire to become job creators.
He said young people should develop skills, innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset that can help generate employment opportunities for others.
The Union Minister also described the youth as potential problem-solvers who can contribute to addressing some of the country's biggest challenges.
By combining education with innovation and practical skills, young people can play a greater role in India's economic growth, he said.
Youth as Catalysts of Positive Change
Rajnath Singh called upon students to become catalysts of positive change in society.
He said India's young population represents a significant strength and that the country's future will depend substantially on how effectively this demographic potential is utilised.
Students, he suggested, should use their education not only for personal advancement but also to contribute to society.
From entrepreneurship and technology to social development and public service, young people can make meaningful contributions in different fields.
‘Team India’ Approach for Viksit Bharat
The Defence Minister also called on young people to work as part of a united ‘Team India’ to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat.
He emphasised the importance of collective efforts in India's journey towards becoming a developed nation.
According to Rajnath Singh, achieving the Viksit Bharat objective requires participation from different sections of society, with the country's youth playing a particularly important role.
He encouraged students to view themselves as active contributors to India's development rather than passive beneficiaries of the country's progress.
Importance of Constitutional and Democratic Values
The Union Minister's message to the students also focused on the importance of India's constitutional and democratic framework.
He encouraged young citizens to use constitutional mechanisms when raising concerns or seeking change.
