Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stated that it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for India’s youth to play a leading role in representing not just the country but the world by the centenary year of independence in 2047. He said that the youth will give a new direction to the nation’s development.
Yadav stated this during the closing ceremony of the three-day state-level Yuva Mahotsav-2025, held at the badminton hall of T.T. Nagar stadium. On this occasion, he launched two significant schemes: PARTH and Yuva Prerak Abhiyan ‘M.P.Y.P.’ to support and empower the youth.
Yadav announced that the Sports Department will organize training programmes under the PARTH Yojana for the youth of the state aspiring to serve in the army and police. These training programmes will be conducted at 10 locations across the state and will be self-financed, with trainees required to pay a minimal fee. Under the MPYP scheme, the focus is on connecting the youth with skill development, career, and employment opportunities. The scheme aims to empower the youth of the state by helping them enhance their skills and abilities, thus laying a strong foundation for their future.
Yadav said that the mind has been filled with such joy by the presentation of this wonderful confluence of art and artists, which is difficult to explain. There is a feeling of ecstasy in youth power. A glimpse of tomorrow's young India can be seen in today's youth. A colourful dance-drama was presented by the winning members of Yuva Utsav to welcome the Chief Minister. He praised the performance given by the artists in the dance drama wholeheartedly. He described the playback singer as the form of Lata Mangeshkar of the state. Dr. Yadav praised the wonderful presentation of the form of Maa Durga and Chandi by the artists in Bundeli singing and dance. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav went among the winning youth and artists and took selfies and photographs with them.
Yadav observed various presentations by teams from different divisions during the 28th State Level Youth Festival. He witnessed the performance of the Sagar Division, which won in the group folk song category, and the Gwalior Division, which won in the group folk dance category. Dr. Yadav also viewed the painting by Ayush Kushwaha from Jabalpur Division, who secured first place, and Sanskriti Srivastava from Indore Division, who came second.
