Skill development critical to enable youth for nation-building: Assam Governor

Assam Governor Gulab Chand Kataria underscored the imperative of unleashing and channeling the “youth power” of the nation to accelerate the pace of development during his address at the valedictory session of the 14th Assam Rising Youth Conclave.

Emphasizing the critical role of skill development and training in enabling youth to contribute meaningfully to nation-building, Governor Kataria stated, “India is a young nation and we are fortunate to have the largest youth force in the world. We have to manage this youth power properly.” Highlighting the need for skill development through qualitative education, he said, “we will also have to work to inspire the youth with the spirit of nationalism, only then we will be successful in taking the youth forward towards making a developed India.”

Kataria maintained that major changes in society have been possible owing to the strong willpower of the youth, and they need to be motivated in the right direction. Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, a major fillip has been given through the National Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Policy, he further added.

As the nation looks toward a promising future, Governor Kataria’s call to harness the energy and potential of the youth stands as a key pillar for India’s developmental trajectory.
