National Youth Conference 2025
Theme: "Redrafting the National Youth Policy in Light of India 2047"
The National Youth Policy forms the anvil on which the youth is refashioned. It lays the foundation of the development of youth of our nation. Youth which stands for aspiration, exuberance and transformation has great potential. They have the power to bring about a harmonious growth in our society. Channelising this abyss of energy requires a policy which facilitates their development and progress socially, economically and mentally. It should be such that the youth is empowered to take on any challenge and be ready to face the daunting world. India which is enjoying a demographic dividend window and will continue to in the entire Amrit Kaal has a massive advantage if utilised wisely. Keeping in mind that India hopes to achieve the goal of 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047, redrafting the National Youth Policy to mobilize the youth can act as a favorable factor for India. The youth of today is well aware but is it well skilled? Thus, a policy which enables are youth to become responsible citizens who are equipped with the skillsets of modern technology is the need of the hour. The dream of seeing India rise to its glory can only be achieved when the youth of the nation is nurtured.
The four subthemes for the 20th Youth Conference :
Enhancing productive digital skills among youth is crucial for better education and employment opportunities. It involves equipping them with skills like coding, data analysis, digital marketing, and online collaboration. This enables them to navigate the digital landscape effectively. Through the acquisition of essential digital competencies, youth are able to think imaginatively, be innovative and discover new frontiers. They can keep up with current developments in the industry globally and interact within an international network while accessing a vast array of online materials. These give them the tools necessary for success in their chosen professions as well as an increasingly digitized world.
Culture and value system fortification is pivotal in the advancement of young people since it gives them an identity, a support system and direction. The youth can develop a solid sense of direction when it comes to morals alongside empathy and robustness in moments of trouble by transmuting their alignment more closely with the customs of olden times. Family together with the community are important stakeholders in the value establishment process as they provide assistance, mentoring as well as exemplary characters. By nurturing an environment characterized by mutual respect among peers through trustful relationships established through candid conversations, such youngsters will be nurtured to become confident and responsible members of society who care about other's well-being while at the same time taking into account their own choices too as they grow old.
It is of great importance to promote agribusiness as a profitable career choice in institutions of higher education for sustainable development. Agriculture can turn into an acceptable future by emphasizing its creative capacity in terms of innovation, entrepreneurship and environment management. This can be achieved by incorporating modern technologies, business management systems as well as research opportunities that will lure top achievers. Additionally, highlighting success stories, providing lucrative scholarships and nurturing partnerships with industries can help boost the industry’s appeal. Consequently, this transformation will bring about a project that produces skilled human resources, enhances food security and sustains life on earth. The elevation of agriculture’s status can ignite the minds of young people enabling them to create a better tomorrow.
In order to boost the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), it is essential to cultivate an environment of innovation, risk-taking and collaboration. Resources such as incubators, accelerators, mentoring and funding opportunities can help in achieving this goal. Integration of entrepreneurship education into the curriculum, experiential learning and creating industry partnerships are other avenues that HEIs can pursue. Moreover, interdisciplinary collaboration encouragement, providing access to frontier technologies and celebrating entrepreneurial successes can stimulate more entrepreneurship. Creating this supportive environment will enable students and faculty to become employers hence contributing to economic development and societal change.
