Lucknow, 13 June (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath commemorated the #12YearsOfYuvaShakti festival by emphasizing

India's youth's transformation from job seekers to employment creators. #12YearsOfYuvaShakti

demonstrates the paradigm change in young empowerment, education, and sports over

the last 12 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stressed that

youth-led startup revolutions, skill development, and infrastructure growth are

propelling national and state success. CM Yogi praised the conclusion of 12

years of central leadership, saying that over 3 crore job and self-employment

possibilities had been generated via MSME, ODOP, and Startup India programs. Over

the last 12 years, the number of universities in the country has increased from

723 to 1,213, providing more access to higher education for young people. The

government is focused substantially on practical skill development and

apprenticeship programs to ensure that youths are job-ready and internationally

exposed, rather than simply having degrees. Youth are driving progress in

technology, sports, and space technology, raising India's worldwide reputation.

In a post on X, he remarked, “Under the revolutionary

leadership of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, in the past 12

years, India's youth power has emerged as the greatest strength in

nation-building, brimming with newfound confidence, new opportunities, and new

aspirations. Today's youth is becoming an active partner in realizing the

resolve of 'Viksit Bharat'. Transformative initiatives like the Skill India

Mission, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, Startup India, MY Bharat portal,

and employment fairs have given a new flight to the talent, skills, and

innovation of the youth. As a result, India is today making its strong presence

felt as a global hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, and startup culture.”

“This very confidence of youth power is also manifesting as

new heights in the world of sports. Initiatives like Khelo India have provided

players with modern training, better opportunities, and world-class facilities,

as a result of which India has set new benchmarks on international sports

platforms.This very Amrit Generation is the greatest strength of a developed,

self-reliant, and powerful India. #12YearsOfYuvaShakti,” he added prior to

signing off.
