It is unfortunate that our sense of democracy and nationalism is being challenged by those who were once in positions of governance or authority
“It is unfortunate that our sense of democracy and nationalism is being challenged by those who were once in positions of governance or authority,” Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said. “To control narrow party interests, they go to the extent of creating anti-national statements and comparing our great democracy with the neighbouring system,” he said.
Cautioning the youth, Mr Dhankhar said that these people make every effort to hide their true intentions and distract us by turning Nielsen’s eyes to the rapid, unprecedented growth of the country. Its economic progress and its unprecedentedimprovement in the global community of nations.

The importance of clean energy for sustainable development,
Highlighting the importance of clean energy for sustainable development, the Vice President said, “Clean energy is not just another option; This is the only option. Without it, we face an existential challenge. Any other growth mechanism would threaten our planet.
Talking about India’s economic growth, he said, “India, called one of the “Fragile Five” economies, has emerged as the fifth largest global economy and is projected to become the third largest economy by 2030. India’s economic progress is aligned with sustainable development; ensures a proud tradition for future generations”.

Science and research play an important role in opening up new avenues to accelerate India’s growth. I call upon the government and the corporate sector to prioritise research. He said that money should be more involved in the promotion and development of research and development.
Drawing attention to the misuse of natural resources, Mr. Dhankhar said, “We are in the trusteeship of your natural resources. The use of natural resources cannot be controlled by our economic power. We have to focus on optimal utilization and conservation of natural resources. They are limited, given by nature and not for the benefit of any individual. Natural resources are that everyone should be treated equally and not treated unequally”.

Shri Dhankhar called upon the youth to make full use of the various opportunities available in the country today. Unnecessary focus on government jobs is having a big impact on our youth. It’s worryingly tempting and addictive. Ignoring the amazing opportunity scene, our young generation is reeling under silos. Remember the IMF’s appreciation that India is a favourite global destination for investment and opportunity. It is definitely not based on government jobs,” he said.
Highlighting the recent progress made by the country in the field of leading technologies such as quantum computing, 6G, the Vice President said that the time has come that we will no longer look to the West and it is time to innovate in this area so that we are in a position to pass it on to other nations. It is heartening to note that our country is among the single-digit nations in disruptive technology that are focusing on it. By example, our quantum computing mission, our green hydrogen mission, and less. read more
