Day Three of the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026, organised under the aegis of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, commenced with great zeal and enthusiasm at Bharat Mandapam, and witnessed diverse events including an inspiring address by Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, Dr. Manuskh Mandaviya, an engaging interactive session with ISRO Astronauts, and a cultural extravaganza showcasing the rich diversity of Bharat.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Addressing the young participants, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya congratulated them on being selected from among nearly 50 lakh youth across the country and noted that they had been sent by their respective Chief Ministers and Governors, reflecting the confidence reposed in them by the States and the nation. He highlighted that through VBYLD, the youth had been directly connected with the Government of India and would soon present their ideas before the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.\u00a0 Emphasising that the Dialogue does not end with the event, he said that the journey to translating the vision of Viksit Bharat into reality starts now.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Union Minister urged the young leaders to remain engaged through the MY Bharat platform and stay connected with District Youth Officers after returning to their States. Calling upon them to lead key national initiatives such as Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat, he described substance abuse as a serious challenge and stressed the need for sustained outreach in universities and schools through programmes like Yuva Connect. He encouraged the participants to mobilise youth participation, take Viksit Bharat presentations to educational institutions, and work towards connecting one crore young people to the MY Bharat platform. Reaffirming his confidence in the youth, Dr. Mandaviya stated that VBYLD empowers young leaders to showcase ideas and capabilities, and emphasised discipline and commitment as the foundation of success, expressing confidence that collective efforts would help attain the goal of Viksit Bharat@2047.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing attention of the young delegates to the completion of 150 years of Vande Mataram, the Union Minister urged them to familiarise themselves with the deliberations in Parliament on the same, so that they may participate in this dialogue with enhanced awareness.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The day had begun with an inspiring Conversation with ISRO Astronauts and MY Bharat Volunteers, during which distinguished astronaut-designates Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and Group Captain Prasanth Nair interacted with young leaders from across the country. Both officers are accomplished pilots of the Indian Air Force selected for India\u2019s flagship Gaganyaan human spaceflight mission. The session provided a rare opportunity for participants to engage directly with India\u2019s space pioneers and draw inspiration from their journeys, professionalism and vision for the nation\u2019s future.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
