Youth Leaders Dialogue Charts India's Future
Imagine a big meeting where young leaders from all over India come together to talk about how to make their country better.
This meeting is called the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, and it's happening in New Delhi from January 9 to 12.
These young leaders have been chosen after many rounds of competitions and tests.
They will talk about important things like farming, technology, and how the government works.
They will also get help from experts, like a man named Atul Patidar who knows a lot about farming.
At the end of the meeting, they will tell the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, their ideas on how to make India a better place by the year 2047.
It's like a big brainstorming session where young people get to have a say in how their country is run.

Around 2,000 youth leaders from across India are participating in 10 thematic tracks, including governance, sustainability, agriculture, and digital inclusion.
Atul Patidar, CEO of farmkart and R-Solar, is among the experts mentoring the youth leaders, focusing on enhancing productivity through smart and sustainable agriculture.
The summit is designed as an output-driven exercise, with experts stress-testing the finalists' presentations to ensure the proposals are robust and scalable.
