Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha addressed the valedictory event of Viksit Bharat-Yuva Connect Programme at the Jammu University yesterday. The LG called upon the young minds to harness the potential of knowledge and contribute towards social transformation and economic growth of the nation. He said the 21st century is India’s century and it is written in stone. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is moving forward to regain its position as a world leader and our young generation will make the greatest contribution in this journey.

The LG said our prime objective is to empower youth to become informed and action-oriented citizens and drive J&K’s growth and development. The innovative ideas of youth, their dreams, aspirations and their



inclination for change will play a crucial role in societal transformation. The LG entrusted the youth to understand the needs of the society, dedicate themselves to fulfil it and be prepared to sacrifice everything for the goal of Viksit Bharat. 

The LG lauded the University of Jammu for its revolutionary initiatives and enabling the students to realize their true potential. He also called upon the educational institutions to adopt a global approach to education to keep pace with the change. ‘Our immediate goal should be to make India the third largest economy,’ he said.
