Speaker Gupta urges youth to lead India
Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Thursday said that when students from Ladakh and other parts of the country visit democratic institutions, they strengthen the living bond of national unity.
He was addressing an interactive session with a delegation of students from the Union Territory of Ladakh and other regions at the Assembly complex.
The visit was organised by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) under the Students’ Experience in Regional Understanding (SERU) initiative.
Gupta said such exchanges go beyond geography and help build a confident and integrated India. He told the students that their visit was not merely ceremonial. It was an opportunity to witness how a democratic system functions through dialogue, accountability and public service.
“Within these walls, policies are shaped and public concerns are raised in accordance with the Constitution,” he said.
The speaker said India is at a pivotal moment in its journey toward becoming a developed nation by 2047. He described Viksit Bharat as a vision that goes beyond economic growth. It includes social inclusion, quality education and technological progress.
“The path to Viksit Bharat runs through the minds and hearts of young citizens like you,” he told the students. He urged them to uphold integrity, innovation and unity.
Referring to the guiding philosophy of the programme, “Aatm Deepo Bhav” (Be your own light), Gupta encouraged students to develop clarity of thought and self-confidence.
