Jammu: Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday urged the youth to dedicate themselves to the vision of a developed India.
“Future belongs to India and our youth. I am confident that the youth will lead the world to build a prosperous society,” Sinha said, attending the closing ceremony of State level ‘Yuva Utsav: India@2047’ here.
The two-day event was organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports through Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan.

“Youth power is the greatest asset of our country. They have courage to stand alone against all odds and challenges without any fear and are always ready to provide new ideas and new initiatives for the betterment of the society,” the Lt Governor said.
