Youth are demographic dividend, nation will benefit: RSS chief Bhagwat
A leader of a big Indian group called the RSS talked to young people.
His name is Mohan Bhagwat.
He said young people are like a treasure for the country.
He called this a 'demographic dividend.'
If young people are helped well, the country will benefit a lot.
But if they are not, they could become a problem for society later.
He told young people to think about future generations, not just themselves.
He said Bharat should make its own rules for success instead of copying other countries.
He also said Bharat should have pride and not only think about making money.
He encouraged young people to start their own businesses and work hard.
He raised the national flag at the group's headquarters and said everyone should think about what it represents.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said youth are a demographic dividend and the nation will benefit immensely if they are handled properly.
He warned that if youth are not handled properly, they could become a burden on society in the future.
Bhagwat said Bharat should frame its own yardsticks for development and progress rather than compare itself with countries like the US, Australia, China and New Zealand.
He stressed promoting entrepreneurship and said all employment, including labour work, should be treated with respect.
Bhagwat hoisted the national flag at the Sangh headquarters in the morning, in his second interaction with Gen Z within ten days.
