Greater Noida, February 5: Ninth-grade student Raunak Chaudhary, who participated in the developed India Young Leaders Dialogue 2026, believes this year’s budget is not just an ordinary budget but a vision for youth empowerment. She emphasized the need for everyone to work together to fulfill Prime Minister Modi’s commitment to a developed India.
Reflecting on the Young Leaders Dialogue, Raunak shared, “During the program, we expressed our thoughts, and the experience with the central minister was unforgettable.”
She added, “As soon as we stepped on stage and saw the ministers, I felt a surge of excitement. When we presented our ideas, the central minister was very pleased. It was encouraging to see young individuals like us stepping forward to share our thoughts and contribute to the nation’s development.”
The Finance Minister also praised the Young Leaders Dialogue in the budget, noting that many ideas presented by the youth were incorporated into it.
Raunak highlighted a historic moment: “For the first time in 77 years, over 3,000 young people gathered on one stage. I am thrilled to have been part of this event. When youth, women, and children unite, nothing can stop the country’s progress. This year, millions of young people shared their ideas, and I was among them. Initially, over 5 million registered, but only 3,000 were selected to represent youth across the nation. This shows that our country is now listening to the voices of the youth.”
She believes that the confidence and passion of young people will help India become a developed nation by 2047, a vision shared by Prime Minister Modi.
Raunak stated, “This is a significant and decisive step. As startups grow in the country, so will our entrepreneurs. Increased entrepreneurship will create new job opportunities, positively impacting the economy. This will also lead to a rise in startups in sectors like defense and space technology. Consequently, we will accelerate towards the commitment of a developed India.”
