Addressed the faculty and students at #IIT #GandhiNagar, Ahmedabad. Key Takeaways: "Recent science policy initiatives of the Govt of India are aimed at democratising access to research funding and opportunity, for overall ease of research. The Anusandhan National Research Foundation #ANRF, whose Governing Body is chaired by PM Sh @narendramodi, seeks to ensure that financial and technical support reaches institutions beyond the traditional centres of excellence. India's research ecosystem draws strength from its diversity by bringing together expertise from science, humanities, social sciences and traditional knowledge to address national challenges in a holistic manner. Last decade has been the decade of science and technology, when India increasingly emerged as an active participant in frontier technologies. The initiatives such as the National Quantum Mission and India AI Mission are creating new opportunities to contribute to the country's technological advancement. Emphasis ought to be on early industry linkage in research programmes. The collaboration with industry should begin at the stage of conceptualisation itself rather than after the completion of research, enabling smoother technology transfer and alignment with societal needs".

The NDA Government is one that is strongly working towards youth-led development. One of the defining features of the last 12 years has been the confidence with which India’s youth have pursued their aspirations. Through initiatives such as Startup India, Digital India, Skill India and Atal Innovation Mission, an ecosystem has emerged that encourages innovation, entrepreneurship and enterprise. Today, India is among the world’s leading StartUp destinations and many of these success stories are being scripted by our Yuva Shakti and that too from smaller towns and villages. #12YearsOfYuvaShakti

नौकरी मांगने से लेकर नौकरी देने तक... यह बदलाव सिर्फ 12 सालों का नहीं, बल्कि करोड़ों युवाओं के सपनों, आत्मविश्वास और अवसरों की नई उड़ान की कहानी है। यही अमृत पीढ़ी, यही नए भारत की पहचान, यही विकसित भारत की असली ताकत है। 🇮🇳 #12YearsOfYuvaShakti
