Sawai Madhopur Youth Invited to Shape India's Future at National Leadership Dialogue

Sawai Madhopur. The Acharya Nanesh College of Teacher Education in Kustala, Sawai Madhopur, recently hosted an awareness session regarding the upcoming National Youth Festival, titled the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2027. Organized under the guidance of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, New Delhi, the initiative aims to provide a national platform for individuals aged 15 to 29 to showcase their leadership skills and innovative ideas.

College Principal Dr. Nidhi Jain highlighted that Rajasthan has been categorized within the Golden West region, which also encompasses Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu. The core theme for the Viksit Bharat Challenge track centers on manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and green development, encouraging participants to contribute sustainable solutions for the nation's growth.

District Youth Officer Harshit Khandelwal outlined the multi-stage selection process, which begins with an online quiz on the My Bharat portal, running from August 17 to September 16, 2026. Successful candidates will then proceed to an essay writing competition scheduled for October 2026. Following this, a district-level presentation round will identify the top 50 participants, from which two representatives will be chosen to compete at the state level.

The state-level championship, slated for late 2026, will involve individual presentations to determine the finalists. These selected participants will eventually represent their regions at the National Youth Festival in New Delhi, scheduled for January 10 to 12, 2027. This journey is designed to foster a spirit of competition and intellectual growth among the youth.

Concluding the event, Dr. Nidhi Jain and Director Mukesh Jain urged all students to actively engage in the process. They further encouraged the attendees to spread awareness among their peers in the 15 to 29 age bracket, ensuring that a large number of young innovators from the district participate to share their vision for a developed India.
