Piyush Goyal exhorts nation's youth to be architects of Viksit Bharat
New Delhi: Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, on Friday exhorted the country's youth to actively contribute to building a Viksit Bharat by 2047, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Panch Pran' (five pledges) for 'Amrit Kaal'. Inaugurating India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Conference 2025 here, the minister called upon the youth to commit themselves to making India a developed country by 2047. Recalling the Prime Minister's address on August 15, 2022, he said the 25-year period of Amrit Kaal leading up to the centenary of India's independence in 2047 is a defining moment for the nation. He elaborated that the first of the five pledges is the resolve to make India a developed nation. Urging the youth to visualise themselves over the next few decades, he said they will be the primary drivers of this transformation. 'This commitment can only be realised if we also embrace the remaining four pledges with equal seriousness,' he told the gathering. The second pledge, Goyal noted, is to shed the colonial mindset. Referring to India's rich history as a global economic powerhouse, he said centuries of foreign subjugation had eroded confidence and imposed limitations. 'We must not be bound by the constraints of the past but instead aspire to meet global benchmarks and set ambitious goals,' he stated. The third pledge is about taking pride in India's heritage. Goyal said that India's history, culture, traditions and value systems hold deep significance as we move towards becoming a developed nation. 'Vikas bhi, virasat bhi – we must pursue development while preserving our heritage. Our diversity is our strength, and we must amalgamate our traditions into a collective journey towards progress,' he added. Speaking about the fourth pledge, the minister said that unity and integrity of the nation must be paramount. Commending IIMUN for its efforts to engage youth from across India and abroad, Goyal remarked that this unity is India's greatest strength and must be nurtured at every level. He underscored that this collective spirit is fundamental to the country's journey towards becoming a developed nation. The fifth pledge, he said, is the collective resolve of 1.4 billion Indians to contribute to nation-building. Goyal emphasised that a developed India can only emerge when all citizens work together like a family, with shared responsibility and compassion. 'We must be concerned for the marginalised, care for the underprivileged, and ensure that our progress is inclusive and sustainable,' he said. The minister encouraged the youth to accept nation-building as a duty and a privilege, and to perform every task with commitment and dedication. He urged them to inculcate care and concern for others and give their best to whatever job they undertake. Goyal also urged the youth to actively consider participating in public life. Recalling the Prime Minister's address on Independence Day 2024, he noted that the Prime Minister had called upon one lakh young men and women to enter politics and public service to become agents of change. 'There is a need for capable and committed individuals to contribute to policymaking with compassion, dedication, and a spirit of service,' he said. Goyal urged the youth to take charge of India's future, saying, 'Be the changemakers, the movers and shakers of tomorrow's India. With collective resolve, we can overcome every challenge and lead our nation to greater heights.'

Goyal urges youth to consider participating in public life citing Modi's call
Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal on Friday urged youth to consider participating in public life, citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to induct 100,000 of them in politics and public service to become agents of change. Union minister Piyush Goyal urged the youth to take charge of India's future. (X) 'There is a need for capable and committed individuals to contribute to policymaking with compassion, dedication, and a spirit of service,' he said while inaugurating India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Conference 2025 in Noida. According to its website, IIMUN is a youth-run organisation that aims to bring the world closer, the Indian way. Its advisory board members include businessmen Ajay Piramal, Deepak Parekh, Nadir Godrej, politicians Shashi Tharoor, Jayant Sinha, music composer AR Rahman, and athlete PT Usha. Modi resolved to free the country and politics from dynastic politics and casteism in his Independence Day speech on August 15 last year, and said initially they want to bring forward 100,000 young people whose families have no political background. '...those whose parents, siblings, uncles, aunts have never been involved in politics, in any generation. We want fresh blood, one lakh such talented young people, whether they come into the panchayat, municipal corporations, district councils, state assemblies, or the Lok Sabha.' Goyal urged the youth to take charge of India's future. 'Be the change makers, the movers and shakers of tomorrow's India. With collective resolve, we can overcome every challenge and lead our nation to greater heights,' he told a gathering of students. Goyal asked the youth to actively contribute to building a Viksit Bharat (developed India) by 2047 as envisioned by the Prime Minister with the Panch Pran or five pledges for Amrit Kaal, the transition period. He said India stands at the cusp of a major transformation, recalling Modi's August 15, 2022, address that the 25-year period of Amrit Kaal leading up to the centenary of India's independence in 2047, is a defining moment for the nation. He called upon the youth to commit themselves to making India a developed country by 2047. Goyal spoke about the first pledge, the resolve to make India a developed nation, and asked the youth to visualise themselves over the next few decades as they would be the primary drivers of this transformation. 'This commitment can only be realised if we also embrace the remaining four pledges with equal seriousness.' He said the second pledge is to shed the colonial mindset. Goyal referred to India's rich history as a global economic powerhouse. He said centuries of foreign subjugation eroded confidence and imposed limitations.

Goyal encouraged the youth to accept nation-building as a duty and a privilege, and to perform every task with commitment and dedication. He urged them to inculcate care and concern for others and give their best to whatever job they undertake. He paid tribute to the role of teachers and mentors and said their contributions are often taken for granted during school and college years. Goyal added that they play a vital role in shaping the future of individuals and the nation. He described this bond as one of the most valuable and lasting relationships in life.

Fatimah (fifth left) and other dignitaries attend the ARNEC Conference 2025 in Manila. KUCHING (July 3): Sarawak's commitment to inclusive early childhood care and education (ECCE) was prominently featured at the Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood Education (ARNEC) Conference 2025, held in Manila, Philippines. Sarawak Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Minister, Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah, presented the state's innovative, child-focused strategies with an emphasis on integrating children with special needs into mainstream ECCE services. She shared that SeDidik, the state-owned ECCE provider, had adopted an 'Open Door Policy', currently serving 198 children with special needs, representing 6.8 per cent of its total enrolment across 106 centres. 'All SeDidik teachers have been trained in inclusive practices and basic sign language to ensure accessible and respectful communication,' she said in a statement issued from Manila today. Fatimah also highlighted Sarawak's expansion of early intervention services through One-Stop Early Intervention Centres (OSEIC), now available in both urban and rural areas, supporting more than 683 children to date. In collaboration with the Japanese social enterprise TOY8, digital screening tools have been introduced to reduce assessment backlogs and identify developmental needs earlier. Supported by the Nippon Foundation and the Government of Japan, the initiative is also facilitating smoother transitions from intervention programmes to mainstream kindergartens, with four children successfully making the shift so far. 'Disability inclusion begins in early childhood. By teaching empathy, understanding and respect from the start, we are shaping a more inclusive future for all,' she added. Themed 'Advancing Equitable Early Childhood Development (ECD) Services: The Critical Role of Effective Local Governance' the ARNEC Conference gathered regional stakeholders to exchange best practices in inclusive early childhood development.
