It is well known that India is home
to a significant proportion of the world today. But despite
the youth of the country being more responsible, urbanized
and educated now, the development of the country has not
scaled the heights it should have.
Young minds like you are the
country’s power. You have the energy to make innovations,
have the patience to learn from your mistakes. Your intelligence
and enthusiasm has given the nation an edge over the others
and has made it prominent as a young and competent one.
